"East Bengal Club is an Indian association football club based in Kolkata, West Bengal, which competes in the Indian Super League, the top tier of Indian football. The club was formed when the vice-president of the Jorabagan Club, Suresh Chandra Chaudhuri, resigned. He did so when Jorabagan sent out their starting eleven but with the notable exclusion of defender Sailesh Bose. He was dropped from the squad for unknown reasons when they were about to face Mohun Bagan in the Coochbehar Cup Semi Final on 28 July 1920. He and Raja Manmatha Nath Chaudhuri, Ramesh Chandra Sen, and Aurobinda Ghosh, formed East Bengal, in Jorabagan, Suresh Chandra's home on 1 August 1920. East Bengal started playing in the IFA 2nd division (now the Calcutta Football League) from 1921. In 1925, they qualified for the first division for the first time. Since then, they have won numerous Indian Football titles. East Bengal joined the National Football League at its inception in 1996 and is the only club to play every season to date, even after its name changed to the I-League in 2007. East Bengal have won the National Football League thrice: 2000\u201301, 2002\u201303 and 2003\u201304 and were runners up seven times, more than any Indian football club. Among other trophies, East Bengal have won the Calcutta Football League 39 times, IFA Shield 28 times, Federation Cup eight times and the Durand Cup 16 times.
