While two of these pillars, Mohun Bagan and East Bengal, are currently in the top division, Indian Super League, the third pillar, Mohammedan Sporting are in resurgent form.
The Black and White Brigade, who famously won five back-to-back Calcutta Football League titles from 1934 to 1938, are currently gunning for their third CFL title in a row, after winning it in 2021 and 2022. While they have shown some remarkable form at the state level, Mohammedan Sporting have also been one of the front-runners in the I-League, where they have been vying for promotion to the Indian Super League, as per an All India Football Federation press release.(ANI)
