Mohan Bagan A C football club is older than many European football gaints
Believe it or not, formed in 1889, Mohun Bagan Athletic Club is older than many European clubs including Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and A.C Milan. On September 25th, 1977, Mohun Bagan A.C. played a friendly match at the Eden Gardens against the star studded New York Cosmos, a team from the original North American Soccer League that comprised legendary players such as Pele Franz Beckenbauer, Carlos Alberto and Giorgio Chinaglia. The match ended as 2-2 draw with the Indian players receiving a lot of praise for their performance. Moreover, it was only a last gasp penalty from striker Chinaglia that denied the Indian club a historic win. Such was the quality of Indian football until the early 1980s.
