[[Sporting Club East Bengal]] is an Indian [[association football]] club based in [[Kolkata]], [[West Bengal]], which competes in the top tier of [[Football in India|Indian football]]. The club was formed in August 1920 when the Jorabagan Club's vice-president,  Suresh Chandra Chaudhuri, resigned. He did so after the club sent out their starting eleven with the notable exclusion of defender Sailesh Bose, who was dropped from the squad for undisclosed reasons when they were about to face [[Mohun Bagan]] in the Coochbehar Cup semi-final on 28&nbsp;July 1920. He, along with Raja Manmatha Nath Chaudhuri, Ramesh Chandra Sen and Aurobinda Ghosh, formed East Bengal on 1&nbsp;August 1920. East Bengal started playing in the [[Calcutta Football League]], 2nd division, in 1921. In 1925, they qualified for the first division for the first time and since then they have won many Indian football titles.<ref name="RiseofEastBengal">{{cite web|title=The Rise of East Bengal Club|url=http://eastbengalfootballclub.com/legacy.php|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120818124203/http://eastbengalfootballclub.com/legacy.php|archive-date=18 August 2012|access-date=10 August 2012|work=East Bengal Football Club}}</ref>
