The Western India Football Association has operated from the Cooperage Ground since 1969,[1] and the Mumbai District Football Association holds a small office. It was a venue for one of India's premier national leagues, the I-League.[7][8] Kenkre is currently using the stadium as their home ground since their inception in 2000.[9][10]
HistoryEdit
Cooperage Ground was the primary venue of the Rovers Cup, the third oldest football tournament in India after Durand and Trades Cup.[11] The stadium was occupied by the British Indian Army during the World War I.[12] In April 2011, plans were announced for the Cooperage Football Ground to be renovated when FIFA announced that they would give the Western India Football Association US$2 million in order to renovate that stadium.[13] On 12 June 2011, it was announced in the Bombay High Court that the West India Football Association would be given the right to renovate the Cooperage Ground.[14]
