The Indian Super League (ISL) announced the inclusion of the Mohammedan Sporting Club (MSC), one of the oldest active football clubs in the nation.

Starting from the ISL 2024-25 season, Mohammedan SC will compete in the top tier of Indian football, bringing the total number of clubs in the ISL to 13.

This promotion follows their triumphant 2023-24 I-League title-winning campaign, making them the second club after Punjab FC to earn promotion to the ISL.

Mohammedan SC won the I-League 2023-24 with 52 points, securing 15 wins and seven draws. The Kolkata club lost just twice during their successful campaign, scoring 44 goals and conceding just 22. They will become the third club from Kolkata in the ISL after East Bengal FC and Mohun Bagan Super Giant.
