The club is led by former Indian international Biswajit Bhattacharya who has previously coached Kolkata giants East Bengal and Mohun Bagan.

History

North Bengal United's identity was unveiled in July 2025 as part of the mission to bridge the gap between district talent and national-level professional football. [1] In their inaugural campaign, North Bengal United established themselves as a competitive force. Although they lost the opening match 1–3 to JHR Royal City FC on 14 December, they bounced back with consecutive victories. They defeated Kopa Tigers Birbhum 2–1 on 17 December and secured a dominant 2–0 win over Burdwan Blasters on 20 December. [2]

Stadium

The club plays its home matches at the Kanchenjunga Stadium in Siliguri, which is the largest venue in the league with a capacity of 40,000. [3]
