Sporting Club East Bengal is an Indian association football club based in Kolkata, West Bengal, which competes in the top tier of Indian football, for the 2020–21 season. The club was formed when the vice-president of Jorabagan, Suresh Chandra Chaudhuri, resigned when Jorabagan sent out their starting eleven but with the notable exclusion of defender Sailesh Bose who was dropped from the squad for reasons not disclosed when they were about to face Mohun Bagan in the Coochbehar Cup Semi Final on 28 July 1920. He along with Raja Manmatha Nath Chaudhuri, Ramesh Chandra Sen, and Aurobinda Ghosh, formed East Bengal, in Jorabagan home of Suresh Chandra on 1 August 1920; 99 years ago.[1] East Bengal started playing in the Calcutta Football League 2nd division from 1921 and in 1925 they qualified for the first division for the first time and since then they have won numerous titles in Indian Football.[1]

East Bengal joined the National Football League since its inception in 1996[2] and is the only club to play all seasons till date, even after its name change to I-League in 2007.[3] East Bengal have won the National Football League thrice: 2000–01, 2002–03 and 2003–04 and became runners up 7 times, the most number of times by any Indian football club. Among other trophies, East Bengal have won the Calcutta Football League 39 times, IFA Shield 28 times, Federation Cup 8 times and the Durand Cup 16 times.

History

On 28 July 1920 Mohun Bagan were scheduled to play Jorabagan in the Coochbehar Cup.[1] Jorabagan sent out their starting eleven but with the notable exclusion of defender Sailesh Bose who was dropped from the squad for reasons not disclosed.[1] The vice-president of Jorabagan, Suresh Chandra Chaudhuri, asked for Bose to be included in the line-up but the club coaches did not listen.[1] Chaudhuri left the club due to this and along with Raja Manmatha Nath Chaudhuri, Ramesh Chandra Sen, and Aurobinda Ghosh, formed East Bengal, in Jorabagan home of Suresh Chandra on 1 August 1920; 99 years ago. It was named East Bengal since the founders hailed from eastern region of Bengal.[1]

East Bengal played their first match in 1920 Hercules Cup, which was a 7-a-side tournament which they won. After the tournament, the club became affiliated with the Indian Football Association. They won their first-ever full tournament in 1921, lifting the Khogendra Shield. The Red and Gold brigade qualified for the Calcutta Football League 1st Div in 1925. They won their first 1st Div title in 1942. East Bengal won their first IFA Shield in 1943. In 1945, East Bengal won their first double of winning both Calcutta Football League and IFA Shield.[1]

From 1949-51, East Bengal became the first team to make a hat-trick of wins in IFA Shield. In 1972, East Bengal won Calcutta Football League, IFA Shield, Durand Cup and Rovers Cup in a single season, thus becoming the first team to do so. In 1972, East Bengal also made a record of being the first and till date only Indian team winning the Calcutta Football League without conceding a single goal, which they again repeated in 1991.[4]

In 1975, East Bengal broke the record by winning the Calcutta Football League consecutively for the 6th time (1970–75), bettering the record held by Mohammedan Sporting of winning it 5 times (1934–38). In 1975, East Bengal also created history as they defeated their arch-rivals Mohun Bagan by a record margin of 5-0, which is still being held today, in the IFA Shield final at the Mohun Bagan Ground. In 1976, East Bengal made a record of winning the IFA Shield 5 times in a row, a record held till date. In 1978, East Bengal participated in the Federation Cup for the first time and became joint champions with Mohun Bagan.[5]

In 1985, East Bengal won the Federation Cup and qualified for Asian Club Championships for the first time. East Bengal topped the preliminary round held in Colombo and reached the Group Stages held in Jeddah. Saudi Arabia. In 1991 East Bengal qualified for the Asian Cup Winners' Cup for the first time and reached the Quarter-Finals.[6]

In 1993, East Bengal won their first tournament on foreign soil as they won the Wai Wai Cup in Nepal. In 2000-01, East Bengal won their maiden NFL title, winning it again in 2002-03 and 2003-04. In 2003, East Bengal won a major international trophy at Jakarta when they defeated BEC Tero Sasana to lift the 2003 ASEAN Club Championship. The club won their third trophy outside India when they defeated South Korean Hannam University to life the San Miguel Cup in Nepal.[7] Between 2007-2012 East Bengal won the Federation Cup 4 times (2007,2009,2010,2012). From 2010-2017, East Bengal again bettered their own record as they won the Calcutta Football League for 8 consecutive times.[8]
