Which of the following Indian Football Club became country's first ever football club to feature on NASDAQ billboards in New York's Time Square on 29th July, 2020?

A East Bengal
B Churchill Brothers
C Mohan Bagan
D Bengaluru Football Club

Correct answer: (c) Mohan Bagan

Explanation

  1. A

    East Bengal

    (a) East Bengal. East Bengal is a historic Kolkata club; it was not the 29 July 2020 NASDAQ Times Square first.

  2. B

    Churchill Brothers

    (b) Churchill Brothers. The Goa club was not the NASDAQ billboard debut named here.

  3. C

    Mohan Bagan

    (c) Mohan Bagan. On 29 July 2020 Mohun Bagan became the first Indian football club on NASDAQ billboards in Times Square, New York, around the ATK Mohun Bagan merger moment. Official key.

  4. D

    Bengaluru Football Club

    (d) Bengaluru Football Club. ISL’s BFC is a later professional club, not that Times Square first.

Summary. Official key is (c) Mohan Bagan. The July 2020 NASDAQ display marked Mohun Bagan’s listing-style celebration after the ATK merger, billed as India’s first football club on those boards. East Bengal is the Kolkata derby twin and the usual trap. Churchill Brothers and Bengaluru FC were not that event.
