Nita Ambani: East Bengals’ inclusion throws open limitless opportunities for Indian football

Mumbai, September 27, 2020: Mrs. Nita Ambani, Founder & Chairperson, Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) today announced the expansion of Indian Super League by welcoming East Bengal FC into the seventh edition of India’s top-flight football league.

Following Shree Cement East Bengal Foundation acquisition of majority stake in East Bengal Club and their successful bid, the club will embark on its maiden ISL journey as the eleventh team in the competition.

Mrs. Ambani said:

“It is such a happy and proud moment for ISL as we welcome East Bengal FC and their millions of fans into the League. The inclusion of both legacy clubs, i.e. East Bengal and Mohun Bagan (now ATK Mohun Bagan) opens limitless possibilities for Indian football, especially for talent development in the state.

“West Bengal has made an immense contribution to the growth of the beautiful game in India. ISL’s growing footprint in the state and across India, is yet another step towards our mission of building a competitive and robust football ecosystem in the country,” added Mrs. Ambani.
