History

Further information: Mohun Bagan A.C. and ATK (football club)

Mohun Bagan

Mohun Bagan was founded in 1889 as Mohun Bagan Sporting Club and is one of the oldest and most historic football clubs in India.[5]

The club's most notable achievement came on 29 July 1911 when Mohun Bagan defeated East Yorkshire Regiment in the IFA Shield final. 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.[6]

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

ATK

ATK Football Club, founded on 7 May 2014 as Atlético de Kolkata, were a founding member of the Indian Super League.[11] The club was owned by a consortium consisting of RPSG Group founder Sanjiv Goenka, Harshavardhan Neotia, former Indian cricketer Sourav Ganguly, Utsav Parekh, and Spanish football club Atlético Madrid.[12] The club would go on to win two of the first three Indian Super League finals in 2014 and 2016.[13] After three seasons, Atlético Madrid ended their partnership with the club and sold their ownership stake to Goenka.[14] The club was then rebranded as ATK.[14] In March 2020, ATK won their third and final championship, defeating Chennaiyin in the 2020 ISL final.[15]

Debut season (2020–21)

Discussions to include Kolkata giants and I-League clubs Mohun Bagan and East Bengal had been ongoing since 2018.[16] Discussions and rumors continued through 2019 before an announcement was made on 16 January 2020 that ATK owners RPSG Group, Utsav Parekh and Sourav Ganguly bought an 80% stake in Mohun Bagan. As part of the purchase, it was announced that ATK would merge its brand with Mohun Bagan to create a merged entity for the 2020–21 Indian Super League season.[17][18] It was also announced that the merged entity would launch on 1 June 2020 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[19] The club's new name was officially announced on 10 July 2020 as ATK Mohun Bagan.[20] It was also revealed that the club would retain the main colours of Mohun Bagan, along with its iconic insignia.[20] A number of players in the newly formed team continued from ATK, including five of the foreigners, namely Roy Krishna, David Williams, Edu García, Carl McHugh and Tiri. The biggest signing of the club in this season was the veteran Indian defender, Sandesh Jhingan. The team was lead by five different captains; Pritam Kotal, Roy Krishna, Sandesh Jhingan, Arindam Bhattacharya and Edu Garcia.[21] In its inaugural season in Indian Super League, the club narrowly lost the ISL Premiership on the last matchday as well as the ISL Championship in the final, both to Mumbai City.[22][23] ATK Mohun Bagan became one the clubs to earn most points in a single season.[24] Roy Krishna was declared the joint top scorer of the season with 14 goals in 23 matches and Arindam Bhattacharya won the Golden Glove of the season with 10 cleansheets in 23 matches.[25] ATK Mohun Bagan dominated the AFC Cup group stage, but eventually lost the inter-zone play-off semi-final to Nasaf.[26]

2021–present

In the 2021–22 season, the club withdrew from the Calcutta Premier Division and also refused to participate in the Durand Cup.[27][28] Prior to the start of 2021–22 Indian Super League season, Sourav Ganguly, one of the co-owners of ATK Mohun Bagan Pvt. Ltd. decided to step down from his role as a director in the club in order to avoid conflict of interests with the club's principal owner and chairman, Sanjiv Goenka.[29] The club made some of the big transfers of 2021 in Indian football that included, Liston Colaco for around $161K and Hugo Boumous for more than $250K.[30] ATK Mohun Bagan also signed previous season's Premier as well as Champion goalkeeper Amrinder Singh and a Finnish midfielder Joni Kauko, who had recently played in UEFA Euro 2020.[31] The club lost two of their best players from defence, Sandesh Jhingan to Šibenik and Arindam Bhattacharya to their bitter-rival East Bengal, on free transfer deals.[32][33] After having a great start of the season with 2 victories, including a Derby win, ATK Mohun Bagan suffered a setback with consecutive 4 winless matches, one of which being their biggest loss in the league till then against Mumbai City. On 18 December, Habas announced his decision to resign from his duty as the head coach of the team.[34] On 19 December, Goa president announced that ATK Mohun Bagan signed their first team coach, Juan Ferrando to replace Habas,[35] through a buyout clause that possibly made him highest paid coach in ISL.[36]

Club culture

Crest

The Sailing Boat of Mohun Bagan was retained in the club's new logo.[37] The sailboat signifies Mohun Bagan's place of establishment: North Calcutta, on the banks of the Ganges. In fact Calcutta was the capital during the later 19th century and a prime trade center of British India, where the main mode of transportation was through the waterways.

Colours

At the club's first board of directors meeting after the merger on 10 July 2020, it was announced that the club would retain the traditional colours of Mohun Bagan – green and maroon – as their official club colours.[38]

On 12 November at the official unveiling of the kits for the 2020-21 season, both the released kits followed the traditional colour schemes of Mohun Bagan- green and maroon Home kit and a white dominant Away kit- with a "Champions" tag below the club crest, in honour of the successful preceding season for Mohun Bagan and ATK in their respective leagues.[39]

The third kit of the team wasn't released until 29 December 2020 when the club fielded the team against Chennaiyin FC donning a black and grey striped jersey. The third kit was a resemblance of ATK's 2019–20 away colours.[40]

Ownership

The club is owned by a consortium known as ATK Mohun Bagan Private Limited.[41] RPSG Group founder Sanjiv Goenka is the principal owner of the organization while prominent stockbroker and businessman, Utsav Parekh and former Indian cricketer and BCCI president, Sourav Ganguly are the co-owners.[42] They own 80% of the shares, while Mohun Bagan Football Club Private Limited also acts a co-owner, owning 20% of the organization.[43] ATK Mohun Bagan FC continues with the existing registration of Mohun Bagan AC with the All India Football Federation and the Indian Football Association.[44]
