After the termination of the Joint Venture between East Bengal club and their investors Quess Corp on Friday, a huge cloud of doubt hanging over the Kolkata giants' season has been lifted.
They have finally obtained the sporting rights back from Quess East Bengal FC (the Joint Venture) and will now apply to the All India Football Federation (AIFF) for club license for the upcoming 2020-21 season.
East Bengal senior official Debabrata Sarkar told Goal that the Red and Golds will apply for the license in the name of a new company East Bengal Club Private Limited.
