Mohun Bagan AC season awards

The Mohun Bagan AC season awards are the official awards ceremony presented every year since 2001 by the Indian multi-sports club Mohun Bagan to commemorate Mohun Bagan Day (29 July) which marks the day on which the club defeated East Yorkshire Regiment's football team to win their first IFA Shield in 1911, thereby becoming the first all-native team to ever win a football tournament dominated by British teams and clubs.
