Mohun Bagan AC season awards

Last updated

The Mohun Bagan AC season awards are the official awards ceremony presented every year since 2001 by the Indian multi-sports club Mohun Bagan to commemorate Mohun Bagan Day (29 July) which marks the day on which the club defeated East Yorkshire Regiment's football team to win their first IFA Shield in 1911, thereby becoming the first all-native team to ever win a football tournament dominated by British teams and clubs.

Award ceremony

The inaugural award ceremony was held in 2001 under the then general secretary of the club Anjan Mitra and the major highlight of the ceremony was the introduction of Mohun Bagan Ratna, which is a medallion of highest honour awarded to acclaim a recipient's unparalleled contribution to the club. [1] Apart from the Mohun Bagan Ratna, other awards are also presented which often differ in categories each year, except for an award for the best footballer and cricketer of the season which were presented for most of the years.

Mohun Bagan Ratna

Over the years, Mohun Bagan Ratna has been mostly awarded to sportspersons, especially footballers with Sailen Manna being its first recipient, except in 2007 when the club awarded the honour to the club's former general secretary Dhiren Dey for his role during the football team's successes in the 1960s. [1] [3] In 2010, the club honoured all the members of the 1911 IFA Shield winning team except Shibdas Bhaduri who was already conferred in 2003. [4] In 2019 the club awarded the medallion to a player of other sport except football for the first time. [5]
