East Bengal are set to make their Indian Super League (ISL) debut on November 27 as they take on arch-rivals ATK Mohun Bagan FC in their season opener.
The Red and Golds who were the last team to join India’s top tier league this season after the arrival of investors Shree Cement Limited have done a fairly decent job in assembling a competitive squad in a very short time.
The team management recruited some quality foreigners and have had to cherry-pick Indian players from the contingent which was recruited before the new investors came along.
