#1 East Bengal - 1.38 million
It is not surprising to see one big Kolkata giant top this list. East Bengal enjoy a fanatical support all over India and the world, and that is reflected in the club's whopping 1.38 million Facebook followers. The Red and Golds will play in the lower profile I-League next season, but their masses of supporters will ensure that the club remain one of the biggest in Indian football irrespective of the league they play in, as evidenced by their social media following.
The Red and Golds easily trump every other Indian football club in terms of Facebook following, and that is one area where they are well ahead of local rivals Mohun Bagan. East Bengal are a prime example of the fact that there is football in India beyond the ISL, and their number of followers on Facebook is a big proof of that.
