31st July : 1st Olympic campaign of Indian Football Team

oon after the independence, India got a chance to field their football side in an international match and that too in the prestigious summer Olympic Games, 1948 held in London. The squad had 4 representatives from Mohun Bagan – Talimeran Aao (better known as T. Aao as the captain), Sailen Manna and Mahabeer Prasad as the key players, and Balaidas Chatterjee as the coach.

Today, July 31 is definitely a red-letter day in Indian sports. On 31st July 1948, the first eleven men in our independent India’s footballing history led by T. Aao walked into the middle of Cricklefields Stadium to take on France, eight of them wearing thick socks cut off at the ankles and bare feet strapped up to protect them and to provide grip, while other three preferred to put on boots. India really put up a splendid show lauded by all 17,000 spectators present at the arena for their skills, as well as, sportsmanship and went down fighting to the mighty French side by 2-1. Trailing by one goal at the lemon break, India scored the equaliser in the 70th minute through Sarangpani Raman, who also later joined Mohun Bagan. With just one minute to go before the final whistle, France scored the winner to edge past India to earn the quarter-final berth. The history could have been penned very differently if the brilliant French custodian Guy Rouxel didn’t manage to save two spot-kicks from Manna and Prasad respectively in two halves.

Mohun Bagan starts the season with a bang

Mohun Bagan’s senior team started the 2025-26 season in a style as they got past city rivals Mohammedan Sporting by 3-1 in the first game of Durand Cup.

Liston Colaco was spectacular in the game- he scored two goals, one from a freekick from the edge of the box and then converted a spot kick. He assisted the Suhail Bhat goal as well.

The team was reduced to 10-men after Apuia was fouled resulting to a head butt by him in retaliation that saw him receiving marching order.

However, the team was also seen missing many opportunities, particularly Suhail who could have scored a hat-trick had he converted the opportunities he got in the game. Anirudh Thapa and Kiyan Nasiri missed some opportunities as well.

Having falled by 0-1 at the half time, Mohameddan Sporting came back in the game in early second half, courtesy to the goal by Ashley. who got a loose ball as Vishal Kaith tried to clear an MSC long ranger. MSC tried to play pressing football after the equalizer, however, coach Bastab Roy did a good tactical move by putting Abhishek Suryavangshi ahead in the midfield thus stopping the ball distribution from the central midfield to two wings.

For the majority of this game, Mohun Bagan looked to be composite inspite of players starting the training session very late.

Fresh from signing a new contract, Tekcham Abhishek singh earned the confidence of the supporters as a left back.
