The club was founded as ATK Mohun Bagan FC in July 2020 as a merger between ATK and the football department of Mohun Bagan AC. The club was rebranded to Mohun Bagan SG on June 01, 2023, due to the protests by the fans of Mohun Bagan AC.[1] The principal owner of Mohun Bagan SG is Sanjiv Goenka-led consortium called Kolkata Games & Sports with Mohun Bagan AC serving as the co-owner. Mohun Bagan SG shares a fierce rivalry, known as the Boro Match, with Mohun Bagan's long-time city rival East Bengal.[2] The first derby match was played on 8 August 1921.[3] The club also have a considerate rivalry with the big clubs from Kerala, namely Kerala Blasters and Gokulam Kerala.[4]

Merger of ATK and Mohun Bagan

On 16 January 2020, Kolkata Games and Sports Private Limited, the owners of ATK led by Dr. Sanjiv Goenka, entered into a joint venture with Mohun Bagan Football Club (India) Pvt. Ltd. ATK was merged with Mohun Bagan, and ATK Mohun Bagan Football Club Pvt. Ltd., the corporate entity owned by KGSPL (80%) and MBFC(I)PL (20%), was launched on 10 July 2020.[5][6][7] Consequently, the newly formed club ATK Mohun Bagan started participating in the Indian Super League.[8][9]

2020–21

Most of the players in the newly formed team for the ISL continued from the last ATK squad, including the five foreigners – Roy Krishna, David Williams, Edu García, Carl McHugh and Tiri, and the coaching staff led by Antonio López Habas. The club's biggest signing in its debut ISL season was the veteran Indian defender Sandesh Jhingan. Five different captains led the team – Pritam Kotal, Roy Krishna, Sandesh Jhingan, Arindam Bhattacharya and Edu Garcia, as decided by Habas.[10] The club narrowly lost the ISL Premiership on the last matchday as well as the ISL Championship in the final, both to Mumbai City but ATK Mohun Bagan became joint-most points earner in a single season.[11][12][13] 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.[14] At the continental stage, ATK Mohun Bagan dominated the AFC Cup group stage, but eventually lost the inter-zone play-off semi-final to Nasaf Qarshi.[15]

2021–22

In the 2021–22 season, the club withdrew from the Calcutta Premier Division and also refused to participate in the Durand Cup due to unavailability of first team players and lack of a reserve team.[16][17] Prior to the start of 2021–22 season, Sourav Ganguly, one of the co-owners of ATK Mohun Bagan Pvt. Ltd. decided to step away from his role in the club in order to avoid conflict of interests with the club's principal owner and chairman, Sanjiv Goenka.[18] 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.[19] ATK Mohun Bagan also signed a Finnish midfielder Joni Kauko, who had recently played in UEFA Euro 2020.[20] On 18 December, Habas announced his decision to resign from his duty as the head coach of the team after a winless run of 4 matches including their biggest loss in the league till then.[21] On 19 December, Goa president announced that ATK Mohun Bagan signed their head coach Juan Ferrando,[22] through a buyout clause that possibly made him highest paid coach in ISL.[23] ATK Mohun Bagan matched Goa's 15 matches unbeaten streak until they lost against Jameshedpur and finished 3rd in the league table.[24][25] In the ISL play-offs, they lost against Hyderabad on aggregate score in the semifinals. The club easily managed to qualify for the AFC Cup group stage through the qualifying play-offs and eventually booked a spot in the inter-zone play-off semi-finals.

2022–23

Main article: 2022–23 ATK Mohun Bagan FC season

The club again withdrew from the Calcutta Premier Division, citing a lack of a reserve squad. Among some of the eye-catching summer transfers, ATK Mohun Bagan signed the previous season's champion Asish Rai for $157K, along with foreign replacements like Dimitri Petratos, Florentin Pogba and Brendan Hamill.

Starting 11 of ATK Mohun Bagan in the 2023 ISL Final

The season formally began with their Durand Cup campaign, which ended disappointedly after losing out on a knockout spot by head-to-head points. Their inter-zone play-off semi-final against Kuala Lumpur City in the 2022 AFC Cup also ended with disappointment. After losing the league opener against Chennaiyin, the team had a considerably successful run in the league, finishing third and qualifying for the play-offs, the third time in a row. ATK Mohun Bagan comfortably defeated Odisha in the single-leg knockout and went on to face Hyderabad in the ISL semifinals for the second consecutive time. After a goalless draw in both legs, ATK Mohun Bagan booked a spot in the Final by 4–3 in the penalties. On 18 March, ATK Mohun Bagan became the ISL Champions for the first time after defeating Bengaluru in the penalties by 4–3, and Vishal Kaith won the Golden Glove with a record 12 clean sheets in 24 matches.

Crest

The club's current crest is circular and consists of a sailing country boat painted green and maroon. The boat perhaps signifies the club's place of establishment: northern Kolkata, on the banks of the Ganges. The city was the capital during the later 19th century, a prime trade center of British India, and the primary mode of transportation was through the waterways.

The initial crest of the club, however, consisted of the picture of a Royal Bengal tiger amidst a dense jungle, probably indicating the famous mangrove forests of Bengal, the Sundarbans.[26]

The club crest is used for all sporting activities other than the football division of the club. However, since gaining professional status at the start of the National Football League era in Indian Football, the crest of the football division of the club has changed mutatis mutandis from time to time due to change of stakeholders, all the while keeping the Green and Maroon sailboat a constant

Colours

The traditional colours of Mohun Bagan – green and maroon – is their official club colours.[27]

On 12 November at the official unveiling of the kits for their first ISL season 2020–21 season, the released kits followed the traditional colour schemes of green and maroon home kit and a white dominant away kit, with a "Champions" tag below the club crest .[28] The home kit design followed the traditional striped shirt of green maroon and maroon shorts, and the away kit was a white shirt of four green and maroon narrow bands through the middle and white shorts. The kit designs were continued for the next season as well.

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 colors, which was discontinued in the next season due to controversies and backlash from the supporters.[29]

Ownership

The club is owned by RPSG Mohun Bagan Pvt. Ltd., which was formed as a merger of a consortium of Sanjiv Goenka, Utsav Parekh and Sourav Ganguly owned Kolkata Games & Sports Pvt. Ltd. and Mohun Bagan Football Club Pvt. Ltd..[30][31] While Kolkata Games & Sports holds 80% of stakes in ATK Mohun Bagan, Mohun Bagan serves as minority stakeholders with 20% of stakes[32] ATK Mohun Bagan FC continues with the existing registration of Mohun Bagan AC in the All India Football Federation and the Indian Football Association.[33]

Supporters

Since the establishment of Mohun Bagan in 1889, the club has been distinctly supported by dedicated and loyal fans, known as 'Mariners', across the nation, including various high-profile personalities. The principal owner and chairman of the club, Sanjiv Goenka, was himself an ardent follower of the club, belonging to a family of Mohun Bagan supporters. In his first interview after the merger, he said, "When I grew up, Green and Maroon was very much part of my being."[36] The co-owner of the club, Sourav Ganguly had even played for the club's cricket team for many years in the past.[37]

Historically, Mohun Bagan had had record average home attendances in several I-League seasons. In the 2014-15 I-League season, their vocal support in away matches in Pune, Mumbai, and Bengaluru was arguably unseen in Indian football until then. In 2015 an all-female supporters' group called Lady Mariners, was established. The group became India's first all-female football supporter's club.[38] Around 2016, ultras of Mariners, called Mariners' Base Camp, was formed with its various wings spread all around India, to revolutionize the Indian football fan movement through tifos, chants, slogans and pyrotechnics.[39][40][41] In March 2020, a digital fanbase called Mariners' Arena became the first fan club in West Bengal to launch their official fan merchandise.[42]

The merger of ATK with Mohun Bagan was met with a harshly negative reception among the Mariners, followed by numerous protests around the city, digitally and on the streets.[43][44] The fans feared that the merger would become a mark of their 'mother club' and its century-old legacy's conclusion.[45] Gradually as the air of doubts were cleared, the resentment was calmed. However, few ultras continued to voice their demands with hard statements.[46][47] Regardless, the club received considerable support with members of numerous fan clubs actively participating in ISL Fan Wall during ATK Mohun Bagan's matches in its debut season. During the club's 2022 AFC Cup group stage matches, an average of 33,371 fans attended the matches under a limited crowd capacity due to COVID-19 pandemic in India. During 2022–23 ISL season, ATK Mohun Bagan recorded the highest total tournament attendance of 3,38,483 and the highest home match attendance of 62,542 at the Kolkata Derby.

Stadiums

ATK Mohun Bagan plays its home matches at Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, commonly called Salt Lake Stadium, located in the suburb of Bidhannagar in Kolkata.[48] A multi-purpose stadium owned by the Government of West Bengal under Youth Affairs and Sports Department, the VYKB primarily hosts football matches, apart from occasional track and field events. The stadium was built in 1984, predominately for matches like Kolkata Derby that featured attendance too huge for the grounds in Maidan to accommodate. Before its renovation in 2011, it was the largest football stadium in the world, with a capacity of 120,000. Before the construction and opening of Rungrado 1st of May Stadium in 1989, it was the largest football stadium in the world. It is currently the fourth-largest sports stadium in Asia by capacity. The gigantic stadium features three tiers of concrete galleries with nine entry gates, including a VIP gate and 30 ramps for the spectators to reach the viewing blocks. 2022 AFC Cup preliminary round 2 was the first match that the team played at VYBK since the merger happened during the restrictive situation due to COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Mohun Bagan Ground

The Mohun Bagan Ground, located in the urban park of Maidan near Mohun Bagan's club tent and opposite the Eden Gardens, is operated by Mohun Bagan's football division. Historically, the club regularly used the ground to play major tournaments and numerous significant matches until it was merely used as a training field and mostly played minor tournaments. By installing floodlights at the ground in 1977, Mohun Bagan had become the first club in Maidan to do so, and they were first operated during an exhibition match against Pakhtakor Tashkent on 10 February 1977. The ground facilities were also used for training by Atlético de Kolkata during 2015 Indian Super League, and since 2017–18 season the ground had been used for Mohun Bagan's I-League home matches after an upgrade of the stadium. The stadium has galleries on three sides and a rampart on the fourth side. The north side, a contemporary gallery of the stadium, has bucket seats installed for the club members.[49] In 2022, after the merger, ATK Mohun Bagan renovated the stadium in the lines of Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan with artificial turf and upgraded amenities so that it can be used for their home matches in Indian Super League and other big tournaments when required. Since the merger in 2020, the first match that the team played was a friendly fixture against Chennaiyin in August 2022.

Rivalry with East Bengal

Main article: Kolkata Derby
 
Kolkata Derby, held on 19 January 2020, was won by Mohun Bagan by 2–1

Kolkata Derby, or the Boro Match is a football match between ATK Mohun Bagan FC (previously Mohun Bagan AC) and its city rival East Bengal Club. The rivalry was born out of a social tension between the two cultural groups of Bengalis in Kolkata: the Ghotis (nativists) and the Bangals (migrants), that eventually led to the formation of East Bengal Club as a representation of the Bangals, and hence the Derby. The first match between the two sides was played on 8 August 1921 in the Coochbehar Cup semifinal, ending in a goalless draw. Mohun Bagan won the replayed semifinal by a 3–0 score. Rabi Ganguly, Poltu Dasgupta, and Abhilash Ghosh scored the goals in the first-ever derby.

Until 25 February 2023, 384 matches have been played between the two teams, of which ATK Mohun Bagan has won 127 matches and East Bengal won 132. The rest ended with a draw.[50][51]

In ISL, the first encounter was in the 2nd match-week of ISL on 27 November 2020 at Tilak Maidan in Goa, where ATK Mohun Bagan beat East Bengal by a margin of 2–0.[52] Roy Krishna and Manvir Singh were the goal-scorers for ATK Mohun Bagan.

The two clubs meet at least twice a year in Indian Super League and once a year in Calcutta Football League.
