History

[edit]

Formation and early beginnings

[edit]
Main article: 2001 Calcutta Women's Football League

The East Bengal women's football team was formed in 2001 and in their inaugural season of the Calcutta Women's Football League, they lifted the title defeating arch-rivals Mohun Bagan 1–0 in the final at the Rabindra Sarobar Stadium with Shanta Dhara scoring the solitary goal for the club.[1][2][3] The following season, East Bengal women's team reached the final again but lost in the final against Mohun Bagan after the game ended 1–1 in the regulation time and Mohun Bagan won 3–2 in the penalty shootout at the Sailen Manna Stadium in Howrah.[2][3] The team was however disbanded after the season.

Relaunch and another halt

[edit]

In their centenary year, the East Bengal club again decided to relaunch the women's team and participate in the Calcutta Women's Football League.[4] They had appointed former India International Kuntala Ghosh Dastidar as the head coach of the team.[5][6] In October, initial trials were conducted by the club under Kuntala Ghosh Dastidar, with over 150 women participating.[7][8] On 27 December, IFA registration of 21 players was done for the Women's League that commenced in January 2020.[9] The East Bengal Women's team started off their campaign in the 2020 Kanyashree Cup in style as they defeated Dipti Sangha by 6–1.[10]

On 13 February East Bengal Women's team made history as they faced Biddyut Sporting. They led 18–0 within 30 minutes when the opposing team forfeited the game and the referee awarded it to East Bengal.[11] On 6 March, the East Bengal Women's team surpassed their own record once again as they scored 20 goals against Bhangore SWF. East Bengal's forward Tulsi Hembram scored 8 goals and Mamata Hansda 4.[12] The team qualified for the Super Six competition without losing a single game, and qualified for the Semi-Final where they faced Police AC. East Bengal won the semi-final 5–4 in the penalty shootout after the game had ended 1–1 in regulation time. However, the game was replayed due to issues with player registration and East Bengal team once again won the replayed match 5–4 in the penalties after the game ended goalless to reach the final. On 30 December 2020, East Bengal faced SSB Women's at the Salt Lake Stadium in the final of the Kanyashree Cup and finished runners up with a 2–0 loss, with a goal conceded in each half.[13]

However, due to a tussle between the club officials and the investor group Shree Cement, the women's football team and all the players were released. It was informed that they would not be fielding a team for the 2021–22 Kanyashree Cup.[14]

Rimpa Halder scored a brace while Nimita Gurung of Mohammedan scored an own goal as East Bengal reached the final of the 2022–23 Kanyashree Cup.[26][27] On 28 January, East Bengal faced Sreebhumi in the final of the Kanyashree Cup at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan and won 1–0 courtesy of a solitary goal from 15 year old Sulanjana Raul as East Bengal became the champions for the second time after 2001 and qualified for the Indian Women's League.[28][29][30]

Tulsi Hembram was adjudged the player of the tournament after becoming the top scorer with fifteen goals in four matches.[46][47][48]

In the 2023–24 season, East Bengal failed to retain the Kanyashree Cup as they became runner-up to Sreebhumi.[49] In January 2024, East Bengal women's team signed their first ever foreign player as they roped in Bangladesh women's national football team winger Sanjida Akhter to play in the 2023–24 Indian Women's League.[50] East Bengal finished sixth in the 2023–24 Indian Women's League.[51][52]

After spending two seasons in the IWL, East Bengal team management made efforts to build a strong squad for the 2024–25 season, and roped in India women's national football team players: Sandhiya Ranganathan and Naorem Priyangka Devi. East Bengal also roped in the two time IWL winning coach Anthony Andrews from Gokulam Kerala by paying a record transfer fee in women's football in India.[53]
