Background

East Bengal was active at the end of the previous season, roping in French attacking midfielder Madih Talal from Punjab.^[3] The club also roped in four Indian players – David Lalhlansanga, Provat Lakra, Debjit Majumder, and Mark Zothanpuia to bolster the ranks.^[4] The club also got Premier 1 club licensing for the 2024–25 season, announced by the AIFF.^[5] The club also extended the contract of Mohammad Rakip and signed Nishu Kumar on permanent basis.^[6] The club also roped in the Golden Boot winner of the 2023–24 Indian Super League – Dimitrios Diamantakos on a two-year contract from Kerala Blasters.^[7] The club also announced that Cleiton Silva would continue as the captain of the side and Naorem Mahesh Singh would be the vice captain for the team.^[8] East Bengal also roped in the Indian national team midfielder Jeakson Singh on a record breaking transfer amount from Kerala Blasters on a four-year deal.^[9] On 12 August 2024, after a long saga, East Bengal signed Indian national team defender Anwar Ali from Delhi FC on a 5-year permanent deal, making him one of the highest paid Indian footballers.^[10]

Anwar Ali Controversy

The controversial transfer of Anwar Ali from Mohun Bagan Super Giant to Delhi FC and thereafter to East Bengal was appealed and heard by the AIFF Players Status Committee (PSC) on 3 August 2024 and stated that the termination of contract by Anwar Ali with Mohun Bagan Super Giant was 'unjust'.^[11]^[12] On 10 August, all three parties were again summoned and heard by the PSC and AIFF PSC provided the No Objection Certificate (NOC), at his own risk, for purposes of player registration and registration on the AIFF CRS (Central Registration System).^[13] On 12 August, Anwar officially completed his transfer from Delhi to East Bengal.^[10] On 10 September, the AIFF PSC announced their verdict on the case where Anwar Ali was handed a suspension of four months, with Mohun Bagan Super Giant to receive a compensation of ₹12.9 crore (US$1.5 million) from Anwar Ali, East Bengal and Delhi and both East Bengal and Delhi have been handed a two-window transfer ban.^[14]^[15]^[16] On 12 September, East Bengal filed a writ petition in Delhi High Court asking for a stay order on the decision of the AIFF PSC.^[17] On 13 September, Justice Sanjeev Narula directed AIFF PSC to withdraw its order of September 10 and asked for a fresh hearing of the case on 14 September. After hearing the matter, the committee would pass a detailed order.^[18] On 19 September, the AIFF PSC officially handed Anwar Ali the NOC allowing him to play for East Bengal in the Indian Super League until the next meeting on the issue, to be held on 22 October.^[19]

Calcutta Football League

East Bengal participated in the 2024 Calcutta Premier Division and was drawn into group B for the first phase of the tournament where twenty-six teams were divided into two groups of thirteen.^[67] East Bengal fielded mostly the reserve squad led by head coach Bino George for the Calcutta Football League like the previous two seasons.^[68] East Bengal started the campaign on 30 June against Tollygunge Agragami at the Barrackpore Stadium and won 7–1, equaling a 46-year-old record of scoring the most goals in the opening fixture of the Calcutta Football League since a 7–0 win over Police AC back in 1978. Jesin TK, Shyamal Besra, Aman C. K., Subrata Murmu, Ananthu N. S. and Sayan Banerjee scored the goals for East Bengal.^[69] On 7 July, East Bengal faced George Telegraph at the East Bengal Ground and won 3–1 with goals from Jesin TK and Sayan Banerjee, who scored a brace, thus making it two wins from the first two matches of the campaign.^[70] On 13 July, East Bengal faced arch-rivals Mohun Bagan Super Giants at the Salt Lake Stadium and won 2–1 with goals from P. V. Vishnu and Jesin TK, making it three consecutive wins in three matches of the Calcutta League campaign.^[71] On 16 July, East Bengal faced Calcutta Customs at the Bankimanjali Stadium in Naihati and was held onto a goalless draw, hence dropping the first points of the campaign.^[72] On 19 July, East Bengal faced Police AC and won 6–0 with goals from Jesin TK, Sayan Banerjee, P. V. Vishnu, Shyamal Besra and Aman CK.^[73] On 24 July, East Bengal faced Railway FC and won 2–0 with goals from Muhammed Musharaf and Adil Amal.^[74] On 9 August, East Bengal faced Eastern Railway and won 3–0 with goals from Muhammed Musharaf, Aman C.K. and Jesin TK.^[75] On 12 August, East Bengal faced Bhawanipore and won 1–0 with a solitary penalty goal from Jesin TK to continue the unbeaten run and solidify the top spot in the group.^[76] On 17 August, East Bengal faced Kalighat Sports Lovers Association and won 4–0 with goals from Jesin TK, Ajad Saheem T and Edwin Sydney Vanspaul, who scored a brace as East Bengal confirmed their spot for the Super-six phase.^[77] On 20 August, East Bengal faced ASOS Rainbow and won 2–0 with goals from Sanjib Ghosh and Muhammed K. Ashique as East Bengal continued the winning streak.^[78] On 25 August, East Bengal faced Peerless in the penultimate match of the group phase and won 2–1 with goals from Muhammed K. Ashique and Jesin TK and thus confirming top spot in Group B with a match in hand.^[79] On 6 September, East Bengal played the final match of the group phase against Calcutta Police Club and won 3–0 with goals from Bathala Sunil, Tanmay Das and Sayan Banerjee, as East Bengal remained undefeated and topped the group.^[80]

On 12 September, East Bengal faced Calcutta Customs in the first match of the Super-Six phase and won 4–1 with P.V. Vishnu scoring a brace and the other two being scored by Shyamal Besra and Adil Amal.^[81] On 17 September, East Bengal faced Suruchi Sangha in the second match of the super-six phase and won 5–0 with Aman CK scoring a brace while P. V. Vishnu, Jesin TK, and Muhammed Roshal scored the other three.^[82] On 20 September, East Bengal faced Mohammedan and played a 2–2 draw at the Bankimanjali Stadium in Naihati with Jesin scoring a brace for East Bengal, however, East Bengal lodged a complaint to the IFA stating that Mohammedan broke the "son of the soil" rule of fielding at least four players of Bengal origin for the entirety of the match. Hence, IFA granted all three points to East Bengal from the match.^[83] However, after some controversy regarding the allotment of full points and Diamond Harbour threatening to pull out of the tournament, the IFA on 28 October announced that only a monetary fine would be imposed on Mohammedan and no points would be awarded or deducted from the disputed match.^[84]
