Mumbai City FC skipper Lallianzuala Chhangte is all set and geared up to feature in the Indian Super League’s (ISL) debut in Meghalaya with NorthEast United FC hosting the Islanders at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong on Friday.
Chhangte is cheering the move to play the top-tier in the north-eastern state since he believes strongly in the tremendous impact it is slated to have in the footballing culture there. The 27-year-old is thrilled with the prospect of the Highlanders playing their final three home league games of the season in Shillong, as Bengaluru FC and East Bengal FC are set to visit them in the coming weeks.

Expressing his encouraging thoughts behind this endeavour, Chhangte said, “Shillong is a beautiful place and to play an ISL game there will be lovely. I hope that the fans turn up in big numbers, not just the NorthEast United FC fans, but also the supporters of Mumbai City FC.

"I am positive about the impact that the matches taking place there will have on the footballing culture of Meghalaya. It gives the people there a never-seen opportunity to experience an ISL game live. I hope we put up a good match for them and come back victorious, of course!”
