Mohun Bagan banned from I-League - NewsX

The All India Football Federation has banned the elite Mohun Bagan football club from the I-League for two years for abandoning a match mid-way against East Bengal in Kolkata on December 9. The I-League core committee endorsed the report submitted by the one-man committee of retired Supreme Court Judge A.K.Ganguly. In his report, Ganguly has said that Mohun Bagan's decision for not playing the match after the interval cannot be supported on the grounds of Force Majeure and accordingly the club breached Regulation 22 of the I-League Regulation 2012-2013. The I-League core committee will meet on January 9 to decide if the quantum of punishment imposed on Mohun Bagan is enough or if additional fine and suspension were needed.
