The Calcutta Football League (CFL) is a division-based football competition for men, conducted by the Indian Football Association (IFA) in the state of West Bengal. 

Started in 1898, CFL is the oldest football league in Asia and was modelled on the lines of the English Football League in England and Wales. Though there were other competitions such as the Durand Cup, Trades Cup and the IFA Shield during that time, the IFA wanted to cash in on the popularity of the football league in England. 

So, the CFL started as a two-tier football league back then. Currently, it is a seven-tier football league with promotions and demotions of teams based on their standings in the respective divisions.

No Indian teams were allowed to participate in the CFL in the first fifteen years after it started in 1898 as the competition was open only to Britishers and European settlers.

Mohammedan Sporting was the first club to win the top division of the CFL in 1934. They also won the first edition in 1948 after Indian independence.

The CFL, which was open to clubs all over the country till 1937, has restricted itself to clubs in Kolkata and West Bengal from 1938.

East Bengal are on top of the CFL charts with 39 titles, though they had to wait till 1942 to win their first CFL title. East Bengal also holds the rare distinction of winning the CFL for eight consecutive years, the most by any team in succession, from 2010 to 2017.

Mohun Bagan are second on the list with 30 titles having won their first title in 1939. Mohammedan Sporting, the current holders of the CFL, are in third place with 14 titles. Get Calcutta Football League winners list.

Indian Super League (ISL) champions Mohun Bagan Super Giant will host fellow ISL outfit Odisha FC in a crucial Group D match in AFC Cup 2023-24 at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Monday, November 27. 

The Mohun Bagan vs Odisha AFC Cup 2023-24 match will kick off at 7:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).

Under head coach Juan Ferrando, Mohun Bagan will aim to bounce back after going down 1-2 to Bangladesh’s Bashundhara Kings at the Bashundhara Kings Arena in their previous AFC Cup 2023-24 game.

While Liston Colaco gave the Mariners an early lead in the 17th minute, Miguel Figueira and Robinho netted a goal each to help Bashundhara Kings bag three vital points from the clash.

Having registered two wins, one draw and one loss, Mohun Bagan are currently placed second in the AFC 2023-24 Group D standings with seven points from four matches.

On the other hand, Odisha FC will head into the fixture high on confidence after beating Maldives�Maziya Sports and Recreation Club 3-2 away from home in their last AFC 2023-24 group encounter.

Interestingly, Odisha conceded two goals in the first half at the Maldives National Football Stadium before Mourtada Fall, Diego Maurício and Roy Krishna scored in the second half to guide the Juggernauts to a sensational victory.

With the impressive win, Odisha have jumped to third in the Group D standings with six points from four games. Sergio Lobera’s men earlier hammered Maziya 6-1 in the reverse fixture.

Both Mohun Bagan and Odisha will look to bag all three points from the upcoming fixture as only the table topper will advance to the AFC Cup inter-zone play-off semi-finals as per the format.

That said, it’s worth mentioning that Mohun Bagan will have a slight edge in this game having never lost to Odisha FC in the eight encounters between the teams. The Mariners have beaten Odisha five times, while the remaining three games ended in draws. 

Furthermore, Mohun Bagan thrashed Odisha FC 4-0 in their previous meeting in the ongoing AFC Cup 2023-24 at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar earlier in September.
