Mohun Bagan Super Giant is a historic soccer club based in Kolkata, India. Founded in 1889, it is one of the oldest football clubs in Asia. The club has a rich history and has been a dominant force in Indian football. Mohun Bagan's home venue is the iconic Salt Lake Stadium, which has a capacity of over 85,000 spectators. The club has achieved numerous major accomplishments over the years. One of their most notable achievements came in 1911 when they became the first Indian team to win the prestigious IFA Shield, defeating East Yorkshire Regiment in the final. This victory is considered a landmark moment in Indian football history. Mohun Bagan is often referred to as "The Mariners" due to their association with the maritime trade community in Kolkata. The club has a passionate fan base and enjoys a fierce rivalry with East Bengal, another prominent Kolkata-based club. An interesting fact about Mohun Bagan is that they were the first Indian club to win the National Football League (now known as the I-League) in the 1997-98 season. This success marked a resurgence for the club after a period of relative decline.
