Mumbai City FC Announces Signing of Luka Majcen
Mumbai City has completed the signing of experienced Slovenian centre-forward Luka Majcen. Born in Ljubljana, Majcen moved to Indian football in 2020, joining Churchill Brothers, where he finished as the I-League’s second-highest scorer. He then joined Bengaluru United, winning the Bangalore Super Division title and finishing as the league’s top scorer with 15 goals. In January 2022, Majcen signed for Gokulam Kerala, scoring 13 goals to help the club defend their I-League title. Later that year, he joined RoundGlass Punjab, where he won the I-League title again, leading to their promotion to the ISL, and finished as the I-League’s top scorer with 16 goals and was named Player of the Season. He subsequently became the club’s first-ever goalscorer in the Indian Super League. Majcen later moved to Diamond Harbour FC, helping the club win the 2025-26 Indian Football League title.
