3) Major achievements by Indian clubs

The first (and probably greatest) achievement in Indian football was when Mohun Bagan defeated East Yorkshire Regiment in the 1911 IFA Shield Final. Bagan, thus became the first Indian club to win the IFA Shield.

Mohameddan Sporting became the first Indian club to win a tournament outside India, when they won the 1960 Aga Khan Gold Cup.

East Bengal finally got into the act by winning the 2003 ASEAN Cup. Incidentally, the runners up, BEC Tero Sasana, had already qualified for the AFC Champions League.
