East Bengal added yet another CFL : Calcutta Football League title to their trophy cabinet thus winning it for a record 39th time. An unbeaten campaign with a Kolkata Derby draw is sure to leave a positive impact on the team's chemistry and can prove pivotal in the upcoming I-League campaign.

With most of the players choosing ISL over the I-League, it looked as if Mohun Bagan or Mohammedan will take the city title away from the hands of Red and Golds. East Bengal retained their 8th title on the row by defeating every team on their way to the title except their rivals Mohun Bagan and Mohammedan SC.

The Calcutta Football League allowed Khalid Jamil to test various combinations and give chances to the youngsters in the team thus allowing them a platform to prove their inclusion in the senior team for the I-League.
