Mohun Bagan's victory was the first time an all-Indian football club had won the IFA Shield and became a symbol of nationalism during the Indian independence movement.[7] The club was a founding member of the National Football League (NFL), India's first domestic league, in 1996.[8] Since then, the club has gone on to win five league titles, three NFL and two in the I-League, becoming tied for most successful club in Indian football.[9] Mohun Bagan have also won the most Federation Cup titles (14) and second most Calcutta Football League titles (30).[10][11]
