East Bengal confirm ISL 2022/23 participation, bring Emami Group on board

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, on Wednesday, announced Kolkata-based multinational company Emami Group as the new investor for Indian Super League (ISL) outfit East Bengal.

The Kolkata-based team made their first appearance in the ISL last season with Shree Cement as their investor. However, it was a season to forget as the team finished bottom of the standings with 11 points from 20 games.

Speaking about the new tie-up, CM Mamata Banerjee stated, "Both sides came to me for tea today. Both sides have agreed. As a result, the problem of East Bengal playing in the ISL will be solved."
