Indian Super League: Hyderabad FC vs Mumbai City FC to be held at Pune
Due to ongoing renovation work on the pitch at the GMC Balayogi Athletic Stadium in Gachibowli, Hyderabad’s defending Hero Indian Super League champions, Hyderabad FC, will be playing their opening home match on Sunday, October 9, 2022 against Mumbai City FC at the Shree Shivchhatrapati Sports Complex in Pune instead of at the GMC Balayogi Athletic Stadium in Gachibowli.
The club, after consulting with the league, has decided to move the first game to the alternative location in order to prioritize the players’ safety. This decision was made after the club considered both options.
