'Unfortunate': Tiger Shroff won’t play for Mumbai FC in Durand Cup; here's why
Shroff was included in Mumbai FC’s squad for the tournament on July 28, leading to speculation that he could make his competitive debut for the club. However, he confirmed that a last-minute work commitment will prevent him from travelling to Shillong for Mumbai FC’s next match.
Renowned Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff will not participate in the 2026 Durand Cup as Mumbay FC's marquee player. The 25-year-old, son of Jackie Shroff and Ayesha Dutt, was set to play against Nongkseh SS&CC in Shillong on Tuesday. However, he has announced via Instagram that a sudden work commitment has forced his withdrawal from the tournament.
"Really, really unfortunate, but a work commitment has come up at the last moment, so I won't be able to make it to Shillong for the Durand Cup," Shroff lamented in the video posted by the club. Despite his disappointment, Shroff wished Mumbay FC and their fans the best, hailing the tournament as "amazing." This absence leaves Mumbay FC, who are currently bottom of their group after losing both matches, without their star player for the knockout stages.
