All statistics correct as of 27 May 2025.

The 2024–25 season is the 6th season in the history of East Bengal FC (women). The team competed in the Indian Women's League and the Calcutta Women's Football League and in a historic season for the club, won a domestic double of winning both the tournaments, including lifting the inaugural IWL title and earning a qualification for the 2025–26 AFC Women's Champions League.[1]

Background

East Bengal Women's team finished 6th in the 2023–24 Indian Women's League. After spending two seasons in the IWL, the East Bengal team management made efforts to build a strong squad for the 2024–25 season, and roped in India women's national football team players: Sandhiya Ranganathan, Soumya Guguloth, Loitongbam Ashalata Devi, Ngangbam Sweety Devi, Anju Tamang, Karthika Angamuthu, Elangbam Panthoi Chanu and Naorem Priyangka Devi, along with three foreign players: Elshaddai Acheampong of Ghana, Resty Nanziri of Uganda and Maurine Achieng of Kenya.[2] East Bengal also roped in the two-time IWL-winning coach Anthony Andrews from Gokulam Kerala by paying a record transfer fee in women's football in India.[3]
