History



Formation and journey


The club was founded in 2000 as Kenkre Academy FC,[7] under the patronage of former footballer and coach Adib Kenkre, and CEO Joshua Lewis.[8]

Kenkre FC were crowned champions of the Maha Football League in 2010 for the first time in the club's history, after defeating Bengal Mumbai FC 3–0, thanks to goals from Nigerian striker Mathew Odje, Francisco Salin and Charanjeet Singh.[9] After achieving this result, Kenkre FC were granted admission into the I-League 2nd Division, then second-tier of Indian football.[10]


2020–present


In December 2021, the AIFF club licensing committee has unanimously decided to not grant the exemption sought by former I-League champion Chennai City FC, after having failed to receive the ICLS licence.[11] As a result, Kenkre replaced them in the 2021–22 I-League.[12][13] In June 2021, Akhil Kothari, India's youngest AFC A license holder, as new head coach of Kenkre. The club began their league journey on 4 March 2022 against Real Kashmir with earning a historic point in the 1–1 draw.[14] Kenkre finished in bottom after the phrase-1 and placed in relegation stage, achieved only 12 points and relegated to the 2022–23 I-League 2nd Division.[15][16][17]

After being relegated at the end of the 2021–22 I-League season, Kenkre FC were reinstated on sympathetic grounds and allowed to participate in the 2022–23 I-League season.[18]
