As a mark of respect to late football legend Pele, who passed away on Thursday at the age of 82, Kolkata’s iconic Mohun Bagan Athletic Club, now known as ATK Mohun Bagan, has decided to name a new gate at the club premises in the Maidan area after the Brazilian icon.


Stating that the name of the gate will be Pele Gate, club secretary Debasish Dutta said, “We are trying to finish the construction of the new gate, which will be thrown open for football lovers of the city at the earliest.” The gate will act as a reminder for the football lovers that Mohun Bagan is the only Indian club against whom Pele played, representing New York Cosmos Club.
