Mumbai City FC sign Slovenian striker Luka Majcen

Indian Super League (ISL) club Mumbai City FC have signed experienced Slovenian centre forward Luka Majcen. The club made the official announcement on November 11. The team aims to strengthen its attack further. Majcen, who has performed impressively in several football tournaments in India, is expected to add firepower to Mumbai City's attack.

Majcen was born in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. He entered Indian football in 2020. Playing for Churchill Brothers, he finished the I-League season as the second-highest scorer. Playing for Bengaluru United, he then won the Bengaluru Super Division title and, with 15 goals, was the tournament's top scorer.

In January 2022, Majcen joined Gokulam Kerala. With 13 goals, he played a key role in the team retaining the I-League title. The same year he moved to Rounglass Punjab. He won the I-League title with that team as well, and the success earned the team promotion to the Indian Super League.

Playing for Rounglass Punjab, Majcen scored 16 goals and was the I-League's top scorer. He also won the tournament's best player award. He later became the first player in the club's history to score for Rounglass Punjab in the Indian Super League. Playing for Diamond Harbour FC, he then helped the team win the 2025-26 Indian football league title.

After joining Mumbai City FC, Majcen expressed his happiness. He said, "I am happy to join this club. This is a new challenge for me. I will try to make the best contribution to the team and help the club achieve its goals. I am eager to meet my new teammates and take the field."

Mumbai City FC football director Sujay Sharma said Majcen has been brought in so that there are more options in the front line alongside Wilmar and Ajal. He said Majcen's experience of Indian football and the ISL will be useful to the team. He is expected to play a key role in converting the chances the team creates into goals. According to Sharma, Majcen's leadership and personality will also benefit the team.

Formed in August 2014, Mumbai City FC is one of the leading clubs in the ISL. In the 2020-21 season the club won both the ISL league and cup titles. It also won the League Shield in 2022-23 and the ISL Cup in 2023-24.

The club has also made its mark at the Asian level. It played in the AFC Champions League in 2022 and 2023-24. Mumbai City are also the first Indian club to win a match in the tournament. The Mumbai Football Arena in Andheri is the club's home ground.
