East Bengal are set to participate in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2020-21.
Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL), the organisers of the ISL, has given the green light to include the Kolkata giants from the upcoming edition of ISL.
Despite indicating that The Red and Golds might have to wait another season before they can join the ISL, FSDL is believed to have taken the decision to induct East Bengal into the ISL after the Kolkata club addressed their financial situation and finalised an investor. This development has helped their entry into the top tier league of Indian football.
