The origional Ernakulam Eagles was formed in 1955 in Kochi by a group of football loving students of St. Albert’s High School and NJ Joseph, their mathematics teacher and an ardent sports loving buisnessman.[1]
Varghese Chelatt, then manager of the school, became the first President of the club while an Imbayi Mather became secretary.
Ernakulam Eagles were active until the late 1990s, but professional commitments of its members made the administration of the club difficult. They then folded the club due to those reasons.
The team then announced their second coming in October of 2010 as Eagles Football Club and made it clear that they have great plans to make history in keeping with their lineage. The team is now owned by Ziqitza Sports Management Pvt Ltd.
The crest of Eagles FC is a roman shaped shield with a picture of a two headed Eagle above it with the words Eagles Football Club below it. Above the Eagle is a ball with stars in it.
