East Bengal recently roped in Kolkata-based firm Shree Cement Limited as their new investors and now are very close to realising their dream of playing in the Indian Super League (ISL), which is the top tier of Indian football, from the 2020-21 season.
Former Red and Golds skipper Mehtab Hossain expressed his delight at East Bengal finally bringing in an investor.
“I am really happy as a former East Bengal player, as a supporter and as a member of the East Bengal family. I want to congratulate each and everyone associated with the club, the fans, the officials and every single East Bengal family member,” Hossain told Goal.
