What is in store for East Bengal after ATK-Mohun Bagan merger?

I-League giants Mohun Bagan have finally completed a merger with two-time Indian Super League (ISL) champions ATK which will see the new entity compete in the ISL from 2020-21 season.

A new football club will be formed where Sanjeev Goenka’s RPSG Group will own 80% stakes while Mohun Bagan will have the remaining 20%. The club will have the brand names of both the clubs and will come into existence from June 1, 2020.

The entry of the two major clubs from Kolkata - Mohun Bagan and East Bengal - has been a topic for speculation since 2017-18 season when Bengaluru FC left the I-League to join the ISL.
