Kolkata : FIFA has lifted the transfer ban on Bengal’s legendary club Mohun Bagan Super Giants on June 17, 2025, paving way for the club to sign new players ahead of new season.
The ban, imposed on May 5 over non-payment of dues to Australian striker Jason Cummings’ former club Central Coast Mariners, was revoked following prompt action by the club. Mohun Bagan had submitted a 107-page document to FIFA and responded to two subsequent queries from the governing body. “Mohun Bagan submitted a 107-page document to FIFA and thereafter there were two queries, and finally the disciplinary committee has sent a mail lifting the ban,” a Mohun Bagan Super Giant official told PTI.
Previously, Mumbai City FC were also banned similarly and it took 3 months to be lifted. Mohun Bagan on the other hand required only a month.
The transfer window opened on June 9. From now the pathway to sign players in this window is clear for the Mariners. The news comes days after a new president Debasish Dutta and general secretary Srinjoy Bose took charge of the club.
