ATK Mohun Bagan to officially be known as Mohun Bagan Super Giant from June 1

The ATK Mohun Bagan board of members has approved officially the renaming of the club to Mohun Bagan Super Giant, effective from June 1, 2023, the Kolkata giants announced in a statement on Wednesday, May 17.

Earlier in the year, on the day of their Indian Super League (ISL) 2022-23 victory, Sanjiv Goenka, the principal owner of the Green and Maroon Brigade, first made an announcement regarding the rechristening.

In the years since the merger with Atletico de Kolkata, legacy Mohun Bagan fans have protested the removal of the prefix 'ATK' from the club's name. However, those demands had been ignored all this while, upsetting the Green and Maroon supporters. The club's aficionados also resorted to boycotting matches to get their voices heard.

Finally, the announcement on the night of their ISL 2022-23 coronation amplified those celebrations as the pleas of the traditional fans were heard. No within two weeks, the new monicker "Mohun Bagan Super Giant" will be made official.

The announcement has been greeted with elation from the fanbase and is slated to bring harmony between the supporters and the management.
