Tollygunge Agragami is a football club based in Kolkata, West Bengal. They play in the Kolkata Premier league as well as the Indian National Football League. They are usually in the Premier division of the NFL, but for the 2005/2006 season they will play in group A of the second division after being relegated last season.
The team was founded in 1943 as Russa Agragami Samity, then later renamed to Tollygunge Agragami in 1955. Their home ground is the Rabindra Sarobar Stadium, which has a capacity of 17,000. They play their home NFL matches at the Salt Lake Stadium though. Although the team has not been as successful as their city rivals, East Bengal Club and Mohun Bagan, they are a team to watch out for.
