Sports updates




As you all know we are under a 21 days lockdown from 24th midnight along with about half of the global population due to COVID-19. Along with I-League 2019-20 all types of sports including India’s World Cup and Asian Cup qualifiers are postponed for unknown duration. Even the summer Olympics 2020 Tokyo is also shifted to 2021 in this pandemic. European leagues planning to hold matches till the April end. 

Mohun Bagan Athletic Club is decided to stand by with the government in this hard time. Mohun Bagan A.C. donated 20 lakhs to the West Bengal State Emergency Relief Fund to be used to combat the deadly corona virus pandemic. We also want to request all to come forward and help the government as much as they can.

During the calling off the season Mohun Bagan A.C. was at top with virtual champion tag. As four more game to go to end the season and the league postponed AIFF wanted to present the trophy to MB in club tent, but some clubs are opposing this mentioning that there will not any existence of previous Mohun Bagan A.C. from 1st June 2020. From 1st June 2020 Mohun Bagan A.C. will merge with ATK officially. I-league CEO Sunando Dhar said that  I-League will have to complete till May 31st. They can not extend beyond that. AIFF needs about two weeks to start league once restrictions are lifted permanently and approximately three weeks to complete the remaining four rounds. Once the restrictions are lifted league can not be started as teams need to train, grounds need to be make and logistic issue also.

The bigger problem is relegation and promotion issue. If league does not complete no teams can not be relegated. On the other side 2nd division league teams gave their best for promotion. We hope this issue will be solved through talks. Another question arises about prise money depending on their position if the league does not end. As Mohun Bagan crowned they will get the championship prise money and the remaining purse maybe divided into second, third and the rest.

Hope you all will fight against corona together. As there is no vaccine or medication please avoid going outside without any proper reason. 

Stay Home Stay Safe.

Mohun Bagan in I-League 2019-20

This year Mohun Bagan started in a very new way with new spanish coach Kibu Vicuna. We made a whole new team set up with some spanish flavour in our squad. We get some good player like Joseba Beitia,Fransisco Gonzales,Fransisco Morante,Daniel Cyrus,Colinas. But Colinus got injured and we got Komron Tursunov. Baba Cardiwara came in mid season in place of another striker. The Indian players gives a right companion to the foreigners. In indigenous squad we good ball player Nongdamba Naorem(often told as Indian Messi after iconic goal in previous season dribbling past 7 opponent player) along side Ashutosh Mehta,Shankar Roy , Lalramchullova,Shilton Paul,Shilton D'silva,Debjit Majumder,Sheikh Faiaz,Gurjinder Kumar,Dhanachandra Singh,Sheikh Sahil,Subho Ghosh,Britto PM,VP Suhair,Surabuddin Mollick and many more.
