North Bengal United Football Club is an Indian professional football club based in Siliguri, West Bengal, that competes in the Bengal Super League (BSL). Founded in July 2025, the club represents the North Bengal region and is one of the eight foundational franchises of the BSL, a district-centric league organized by the Indian Football Association (IFA) in collaboration with Shrachi Sports.[1]
North Bengal United was established to tap into the massive football fanbase in Siliguri and the surrounding Himalayan foothills. The club's identity was unveiled in July 2025 as part of the Bengal Super League's mission to bridge the gap between district talent and national-level professional football.[1]
In their inaugural 2025–26 campaign, North Bengal United established themselves as a competitive force. Although they lost their opening match 1–3 to JHR Royal City on 14 December 2025, 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. Known for its passionate atmosphere, the stadium serves as a fortress for the team during their North Bengal derbies.[3]
Players
The squad features a blend of local Siliguri talent and foreign reinforcements, most notably Ghanaian striker Ebenezer Amoh and defender Abdul Samed Ango.[4]
