North 24 Parganas Football Club is an Indian professional football club based in Naihati, West Bengal, that competes in the Bengal Super League (BSL). Founded in July 2025, it is one of the eight inaugural franchises of the BSL, a district-based league sanctioned by the Indian Football Association (IFA) in partnership with Shrachi Sports. [1]
The club represents the North 24 Parganas district and is coached by Gautam Ghosh, a seasoned tactical veteran of the Bengal football circuit.
The club was established in mid-2025 to harness the footballing potential of North 24 Parganas, a region traditionally known as a "cradle of Bengali football". [2]
In the inaugural season, North 24 Parganas FC enjoyed a dominant start. On 15 December 2025, they secured a convincing 4–0 victory over Kopa Tigers Birbhum at the Naihati Stadium. [3] They followed this with a hard-fought 2–1 win over FC Medinipur on 21 December. [4]
The club's home ground is the Bankimanjali Stadium in Naihati, which has a capacity of 25,000. The stadium is one of the premier venues for the Bengal Super League, frequently hosting matches for other franchises due to its high-quality lighting and playing surface. [5]
