Mohun Bagan Super Giant

Mohun Bagan Super Giant, commonly referred to as Mohun Bagan, is an Indian professional football club based in Kolkata, West Bengal. Founded in 1889, it is one of the oldest football clubs in Asia. The club competes in the Indian Super League, the top tier of the Indian football league system. Mohun Bagan is the most successful club in India winning a record cumulative number of 265 trophies in their existence. They have won more than 5,000 matches in their football history, which is the highest for an Asian club. The club's first notable victory came against the East Yorkshire Regiment in the 1911 IFA Shield final, when its players played barefooted. This victory made Mohun Bagan the first all-Indian club to win championship over a British club, and was a major moment during India's push for independence.

The club was founded as Mohun Bagan Sporting Club in 1889, which was later changed to Mohun Bagan Athletic Club and often shortened to just Mohun Bagan. From 1998 to 2015, the club took on the name McDowell Mohun Bagan due to sponsorship reasons. In 2017, Mohun Bagan Football Club (India) Pvt Ltd was created as the legal footballing entity of Mohun Bagan Athletic Club. On 16 January 2020, it was announced that the RPSG Group (KGSPL), the owners of ATK FC, along with former cricketer Sourav Ganguly and businessmen Utsav Parekh, acquired an 80% stake in Mohun Bagan Football Club (India) Pvt Ltd. ATK FC was officially disbanded on 1 July 2020, and Mohun Bagan entered the Indian Super League in the 2020-21 season with the name ATK Mohun Bagan FC. In 2023, after severe protests from the Mohun Bagan supporters all around, KGSPL removed the term "ATK" and changed the name to Mohun Bagan Super Giant.

Mohun Bagan have won a record 7 Indian League titles — the National Football League 3 times, the I-League 2 times and the Indian Super League Shield 2 times. They are the most successful Indian club in the history of the Federation Cup, having won the championship a record 14 times. The club has also won several other trophies, including the ISL playoffs (also known as the ISL Cup) 2 times, the Durand Cup a record 17 times, the Indian Super Cup 2 times, the IFA Shield 23 times, the Rovers Cup a record 14 times and the Calcutta Football League 30 times. Mohun Bagan have also won the Trades Cup a record 11 times, the Sikkim Gold Cup a record 10 times, the Bordoloi Trophy a record 7 times and the All Airlines Gold Cup a record 8 times. The first trophy won by Mohun Bagan was the Cooch Behar Cup in 1904, which they have won a record 18 times.

In the 2024–25 Indian Super League, Mohun Bagan became the first club to successfully defend the League Shield and 7th Indian League title. Mohun Bagan achieved the league and cup double for the first time. In the same season, Mohun Bagan became the 1st ISL club to cross the 50 seasonal points.

The club annually contests in Asia's oldest and biggest rivalry, the Kolkata Derby against its long-time local rival East Bengal, with the first derby match being played on 8 August 1921. Mohun Bagan was one of the founding members of National Football League in 1996, and has never been relegated from the top-tier league of the country. On 29 July 2019, during its 130th year, the club was inducted into the "Club of Pioneers", a network of the oldest existing football clubs around the world.
