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 29 th July, 2020?

The correct answer is C) Mohun Bagan. The date is the clue. On 29 July 1911, Mohun Bagan won the IFA Shield by beating the East Yorkshire Regiment, and the club marked that anniversary in 2020 with its NASDAQ billboard in Times Square, making it the first Indian football club to appear there.

Why the others are wrong:

• East Bengal was founded in 1920, so it cannot be linked to the 1911 anniversary, and it is Mohun Bagan's great rival, not the answer here.
• Churchill Brothers is a Goa-based club formed in 1988 with no link to this event.
• Bengaluru FC was founded in 2013 as a modern Indian Super League club, far too recent for the 1911 anniversary.

The core concept is club heritage and brand visibility, which ties into the Mains angle of sports as soft power and how Indian sports bodies and clubs market themselves globally.

Trap: Candidates often pick East Bengal because it is the best-known rival of Mohun Bagan. Anchor the date to the 1911 IFA Shield win and the answer becomes clear.
