ISL Cup champions Mumbai City FC will have a new leader who is set to wear the captain's armband in the upcoming season.

The Islanders have announced that Lallianzuala Chhangte will be captaining them in the Indian Super League and other competitions this season.

"Mumbai City are thrilled to announce Lallianzuala Chhangte as the new captain ahead of the 2024-25 season," a statement from the club read.

"Since joining the Islanders in January 2022, Chhangte has consistently delivered standout performances, amassing 29 goals and 16 assists in 79 appearances. In the 2023/24 ISL season, he replicated his previous campaign's success by contributing 16 goals (10 goals and 6 assists), becoming the first Indian player in ISL history to record over 15 goal contributions in back-to-back seasons.

A key player in the team's triumphs, Chhangte helped the Islanders clinch the ISL League Winners' Shield in 2022/23 season and played a decisive role in securing the ISL Cup in the following season with crucial goal contributions," it concluded.

The 27-year-old is set to play a key role for them this season. Chhangte, as mentioned above, played a crucial part in their title-winning run last season. He has made 31 appearances for the Indian team and has netted 5 goals. The Islanders will travel to Kolkata to play against ISL Shield champions Mohun Bagan to kickstart their season.
