Investors stop funding, Mohammedan Sporting faces uncertain future

Published by Webster

Kolkata: The future of Indian Super League (ISL) club Mohammedan Sporting is in jeopardy as its investors, Shrachi Sports and Bunkerhill, have officially pulled up the release of funds. The impasse stemmed from the club’s failure to issue promised shares, alleged Shrachi Sports, leading to a legal tussle. On Tuesday, Shrachi Sports announced that it could no longer fund Mohammedan Sporting due to the club’s ongoing legal conflict with Bunkerhill. Bunkerhill had sued the club last month, accusing Mohammedan Sporting of not fulfilling its commitment to issue shares. This development cast doubt on Mohammedan Sporting’s ability to continue its ISL campaign midway through the season. Shrachi Sports, a venture of the Kolkata-based Shrachi Group, joined as an investor in August 2024, holding a 30.5 per cent stake alongside Bunkerhill. Mohammedan Sporting retained the remaining shares in the century-old club. Shrachi’s investment was pivotal in enabling the club’s ISL debut. Players’ grievances The latest development unfolded a week after players staged a protest and boycotted training on the eve of their ISL clash against Chennaiyin FC, …

Mohammedan Sporting players boycotted their training at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Tuesday ahead of the club’s Indian Super League (ISL) home game against Chennaiyin FC, set for January 15, as a mark of protest over unpaid dues. The players have reportedly not been paid for three months.

Published by Webster

West Bengal’s Santosh Trophy-winning star, Robi Hansda, has signed a six-month agreement with Indian Super League (ISL) side Mohammedan Sporting Club, reported Ei Samay. Robi made history by surpassing Mohammed Habib’s record to become the highest goal scorer for West Bengal in the Santosh Trophy, netting 12 goals in a single edition of India’s prestigious national championship. Upon his return to Kolkata from Hyderabad with the victorious West Bengal team, intense bidding ensued between East Bengal and Mohammedan Sporting to secure the services of the talented striker. Robi, a tribal footballer from Masaru village in Purba Burdwan district, eventually chose Mohammedan Sporting on a six-month loan from Calcutta Customs Club. The decision was influenced by the greater likelihood of getting match time at Mohammedan Sporting compared to East Bengal. Robi had drawn significant attention after an impressive campaign in the Calcutta Football League last year, where he scored nine goals for Customs. Clubs such as Bhawanipore Club and an I-League side had also shown interest in signing him. However, Mohammedan Sporting’s keen pursuit, particularly after …
