Champion officially


After a AIFF executive committee meeting on April 21 it is declared that now Mohun Bagan is officially the champion now.

Few hours later club issued a press release in which they thanked everyone associated with the success and also took a hand at arch rival East Bengal. All nine others team accepted Mohun Bagan as champion except East Bengal. They are showing fictional stories not to declare Mohun Bagan as champion.

Mohun Bagan will receive one crore as prize money. And others ten teams will receive remaining prize money is divided into equal parts which is about twelve lakh. There will be no individual prize for players this season.

Our coach Kibu has joined ISL side Kerala Blasters after cancelation of season. The merged ATK-Mohun Bagan signed Subho Ghosh, which is almost sure shot. There is rumour about Fran Gonzales to join also. The contract with the boss was for two years. If Mohun Bagan release Gonzales they have to pay a fine. And in other side ATK need a foreign mid-fielder. So boss may stay at Mohun Bagan for another season.

At a meeting on 22nd April it is decided to run game on empty stadium. So the ISL next season which is scheduled to start from September will be delayed by few month. It is learnt that East Bengal is eager to file bid for ISL spot next season. But East Bengal can only be at ISL next season if they pay the franchise fee. At the same time there should be another team to file bid papers. Number of teams in ISL should be in even number, so East Bengal alone can not join ISL.

In next ISL there will be three round like Australian league. It is necessary to play 27 games to qualify for AFC Champions League.
