As Mumbai City Football Club prepare for the fourth edition of the Indian Super League, they joined an exclusive league of mega clubs around the world by launching a specially designed Tag Heuer watch for its fans earlier this week.
Co-owner of the team, Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor, and the team’s Golden Glove star Amrinder Singh unveiled the popular Connected Modular 45 with the MCFC insignia on its face at a glittering function.
Mumbai City are also leaving no stone unturned for the season, tying up with various partners to provide their players the best facilities, both, on and off the field. They have signed up with T10 Sports as kit partner who will supply state of the art apparels that will keep them dry even in humid conditions.
They have also joined hands with Nanavati Hospital to ensure everybody in the team has the best medical facilities even when they are not playing.
The team management is super excited about the association with Tag Heuer. The iconic watch company has collaborated with select top clubs in various leagues, including the English Premier League and La Liga, to produce special watches with the clubs’ insignias. Mumbai City becomes the first team in India to become part of this initiative; it declared that these watches will soon be made available to their fans.
“It’s my love for the game and the efforts of the entire team over 3 years that has led us here today,” Ranbir Kapoor said. “Our goal is to become a world class club and this is a very small step in that direction,” he added.
The stylish goal-keeper from Punjab, Amrinder, laid down the team’s ambition for the upcoming season: the championship.
“We have a great mix of experience and youth in this side. With head coach Guimaraes back in the saddle, we will surely try to go one step further and get our hands on the winner’s trophy,” Amrinder said.
With the season being a ten-team affair, the AFC Under-23 captain concedes that they need to be on top of their game for a longer period.
