They play Calcutta Super Division on their own ground - Mohammedan Sporting Ground, Kolkata which has a capacity to seat 15,000 persons.

They are one of the  most favorite football club in India. Recently they have faced a dearth of quality players and lack of money, which combined to affect their performance in domestic tournaments. In the elite division of the national league last year, the club was the top team till mid-way, but lost way and barely survived relegation.
