Football matches have been called off because of the leak at the Lynch Sports Centre.
A leaky sports centre roof has turned Dundee into “the only place in the country where you have to check the weather forecast before playing indoor football”.
Seven-a-side player Barry Chalmers made the claim after becoming fed up of turning up at the Lynch Sports Centre, on South Road, only to find his game has been cancelled.
Mr Chalmers (29) said: “I’ve been playing football on Tuesday nights for about eight years now.
“In the winter of 2006 we went along to play and were told our game had been called off because of a leak in the roof.
“Previous to that there would occasionally be patches of water on the pitch after it had been raining which we would mop up with paper towels.”
Mr Chalmers said his group now often misses out on their games during prolonged periods of rain or snow.
Lord Provost Bob Duncan, the city council’s committee member for leisure and culture, said: “Temporary work was carried out last year and we are currently looking into a permanent solution.
“Work on this solution will commence in March and should be completed by the end of March.”
