Mohammedan Sporting Club, a cornerstone of Indian football, boast a storied history dating back to 1891. Founded during a period of intense political and social upheaval, the club has served as a symbol of progressive Muslim identity, navigating the challenges of British colonialism and the subsequent partition of India.
Renowned for its passionate fanbase and talented players, Mohammedan Sporting have consistently been a force to be reckoned with in Indian football. The club has clinched multiple national titles and participated in prestigious continental tournaments. Their historic rivalry with East Bengal and Mohun Bagan is one of the most intense football rivalries in the world.
The club’s entry into the Indian Super League (ISL) in 2024 marked a significant milestone, providing a platform to compete against top-tier teams and expand its reach. Before the 2024-25 season, a strategic partnership was formed with Shrachi Sports Ventures, resulting in a 50% stake acquisition from existing investor Bunkerhill. This restructuring solidified Mohammedan Sporting’s ownership structure, with Shrachi Sports, Bunkerhill, and the club holding 30.5%, 30.5%, and 39% respectively.
As Mohammedan Sporting embark on their debut ISL season, they are supported by a network of dedicated partners.
