Mohun Bagan fans prepare to celeberate Mohun Bagan day

The recent spate of controversies cannot be a good enough reason to dampen the spirits of the Mohun Bagan fans as they prepare themselves to celebrate Mohun Bagan day.

Though Mohun Bagan Athletic Club was established in the year 1889, but Mohun Bagan day is celebrated on July 29, the day when the club defeated the mighty East Yorkshire Regiment by 2 – 1 to lift the IFA Shield back in 1911. Mohun Bagan was the first Indian club to have won the IFA Shield.

This year’s Mohun Bagan Ratna will be conferred to Samar (Badru) Banerjee, footballer Olympian, former captain of India and Mohun Bagan.

The club is organizing the following exhibition matches to celebrate the occasion:
  • Mohun Bagan under-13 Junior Team vs. Veterans Sports Club under-13 Junior Team
  • Match between the former players of the club
  • Calcutta Sports Journalists Club vs Artists’ Forum
The matches will start at 1 pm in the club ground.

Later in the evening, Mohun Bagan Ratna will be the main attraction along with other cultural programme. The proceedings will conculde with a sumptous gala dinner.
