BackgroundEdit

The ISL announced a rule limiting the number of foreign players, which would go in effect from the 2021–22 season.[4] The club began the season with the signing of Hyderabad FC player Liston Colaco for an undisclosed fee, which is believed to be record fee paid for an Indian.[5] Finnish International Joni Kauko became their next signing which was completed just a few days after Finland were knocked out of the UEFA Euro 2020.[6] On July 8, the club announced the signing of Hugo Boumous from Mumbai City FC on a record transfer fee which is believed to be $280,000 in a first time ever in India, a 5-year deal.[7][8] On the other hand, ATK Mohun Bagan defender Sandesh Jhingan moved to Croatia after agreeing to a deal with HNK Sibenik.[9]

ATK Mohun Bagan kicked-off their AFC Cup 2021 with a victory against their national rivals Bengaluru FC by 2-0 as captain Roy Krishna and Subhasish Bose found the back of the net.[10][11] On 21 August, ATK Mohun Bagan registered their 2nd win of the AFC Cup 2021 campaign with a win over Maziya S&RC by 3–1.[12] On 24 August, the club produced a 1–1 draw against Bangladesh champions Bashundhara Kings to advance to the inter-zonal semi-final of AFC Cup.[13]
