Mohun Bagan Athletic Club is a sports club in India, best known for its football team based in the city of Kolkata, West Bengal. It is one of the oldest football clubs in Asia, having been established in 1889. They currently play in the I-League, the top-flight of India's domestic football league system.

The football team has been successful since its establishment and has maintained its status as one of India's most successful clubs, having won multiple trophies of national significance such as the Federation Cup, Rovers Cup, Durand Cup, IFA Shield, National Football League and the Domestic League. Mohun Bagan was the first Indian team to defeat a European team, when they defeated the East Yorkshire Regiment, 2-1 to lift the 1911 IFA Shield. Mohun Bagan still carries on an intense local rivalry with Kingfisher East Bengal F.C.

In 1889 near Shyambazar area, there was the famous marble palace, named “Mohun Bagan Villa”. A medium size ground was there in front of this building. At that moment, the players of “Dukhiram Majumder Student’s Union” used to play in this ground. But Mr. Majumder then shifted to Laha’s field at the Shyampukur area due to some reasons and changed the name of “Dukhiram Majumder Student’s Union” to “Aryans”. Some players from Mohun Bagan Villa went to Shyam Square where “Bagbazar Club” was established under the leadership of Young brigade from Sen’s House of Bagbazar. But still no club was there for the players who were still continuing to play in the ground of Mohun Bagan Villa. They were not able to compete with the rest of the local clubs. So to provide back up to these players three famous families of Kolkata, the Basu family, Mitra Family and Sen family came forward.

Bagan (Burmese: ပုဂံ; MLCTS: pu.gam, IPA: [bəɡàɴ]; formerly Pagan) is an ancient city located in the Mandalay Region of Burma (Myanmar). From the 9th to 13th centuries, the city was the capital of the Kingdom of Pagan, the first kingdom to unify the regions that would later constitute modern Myanmar. During the kingdom's height between the 11th and 13th centuries, over 10,000 Buddhist temples, pagodas and monasteries were constructed in the Bagan plains alone, of which the remains of over 2200 temples and pagodas still survive to the present day.

The Bagan Archaeological Zone is a main draw for the country's nascent tourism industry.

Bagan is the present-day standard Burmese pronunciation of the Burmese word Pugan (ပုဂံ), derived from Old Burmese Pukam (ပုကမ်). Its classical Pali name is Arimaddana-pura (အရိမဒ္ဒနာပူရ, lit. "the City that Tramples on Enemies"). Its other names in Pali are in reference to its extreme dry zone climate: Tattadesa (တတ္တဒေသ, "parched land"), and Tammadipa (တမ္မဒီပ, "bronzed country").

José Ramirez Barreto (born September 3, 1976 in Porto Alegre) is a Brazilian football player who plays as a midfielder for Bhawanipore in the I-League 2nd Division.

He was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil in a family consisting of his parents, his brother and his sister. He left home at an early age of 15 years to play football in the capital. From 15 to 22, he developed his career at the academy at Gremio. He had played under Luiz Felipe Scolari, when Scolari was the coach of the senior team in the academy, he was 18 then.

He joined Mohun Bagan AC in 1999 and spent a successful period of five seasons with the club, before leaving in 2004, apparently unhappy with how the club was being managed by "dishonest sports administrators".

However, despite popular speculation that he was heading back to his native Brazil, Barreto signed with Penang FA and played in the Super League Malaysia. His first year in Penang FA was a tremendous success, although Penang FA failed to win any silverware, he was dubbed as "the best foreign player" by spectators and pundits alike. His ability to command the midfield coupled with good scoring records had somewhat elavated his status in Malaysian football scene.
