== History ==

=== 2005 ===
The IFA had organised Kolkata Futsal Championship in 2005 with 320 teams participating, to introduce the sport in [[West Bengal]]. Mohammedan SC decided to create a futsal club to participate in the tournament.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|last=www.KolkataFootball.Com|title=kolkatafootball.com{{!}}kolkata futsal league 2016{{!}}kolkata futsal league 2016 result{{!}}indian football live score|url=http://www.kolkatafootball.com/|access-date=2021-11-06|website=www.kolkatafootball.com|language=en|archive-date=13 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181113172227/http://kolkatafootball.com/|url-status=live}}</ref> After the end of the tournament, the club was discontinued.

=== 2016 ===
The IFA organised another futsal tournament, Kolkata Futsal League in 2016, in order to further promote the sport in the state. Mohammedan SC decided reinstate the futsal club. The league was played among 8 clubs as a [[single-elimination tournament]]. Mohammedan got knocked-out from the tournament in its first match against [[Southern Samity]].<ref name=":1" /> The club was once again discontinued due to lack of competitions to participate in.
