The Top Ten
1 East Bengal (India)

East Bengal Football Club was established on 1st August 1920 as a Sports and Cultural association of people who primarily hailed from the eastern provinces of Bengal before partition. Since its inception, many legendary players and coaches have been associated with the club, thus making it one of the oldest clubs carrying a rich heritage in the entire history of Indian Football.

East Bengal Club is the best club in India and has the best fan base in the world. It's not just a club. East Bengal Club is a dream in Indian football. They were the first and last club in India to win the Asian Cup in 2003. East Bengal is a historical club, 100 years old. I love East Bengal. Joy East Bengal!

2 Mohun Bagan (India)

This club has a rich history of football and the strongest presence in the Indian football circuit. Recently, FIFA also recognized this club for their pre-independence win against a much stronger English club in the final of an international shield. This is the time when Indian football started its presence from the elite class to the masses. From then till now, it is the most successful and consistent club, which is the best supply line of talents in Indian football. No other club can match this.

Mohun Bagan is not just a mere football club, but an integral part of the footballing heritage of South-East Asia. The club, which added fuel to the fire named Indian struggle for independence, won the IFA shield in 1911 against all odds. In its eventful history of 130 years, it has managed to win more than 250 trophies, which speaks a lot about its rich legacy. Often dubbed as the 'National Club of India', it continues to create magic and inspire young talents even today.

3 Kerala Blasters FC (India)

Best football club in Asia. In three seasons, the Kochi stadium has hosted over one million fans. Kerala Blasters' passionate fans are the highlights of the Indian Super League. The way Kerala fans supported their home club and kept cheering the team despite a heart-breaking loss, exemplifies the strong bond they have established with the Blasters. Such gracious fans, with unmatched enthusiasm and passion for the beautiful game, will take Kerala Blasters to the top of the world in the near future. Football has a unique place in Kerala's soul.

4 Persib Bandung (Indonesia)

I'm proud to be a citizen of Bandung because of its football team, PERSIB, which unites all people. Children who were once motorcycle gang members are now faithful Bobotohs, supporting PERSIB in every game. This has created a safe and secure environment, free from motorcycle gang delinquency. Bravo Persib Bandung! Hopefully, they will be champions next season.

Simamaung is the nickname for Persib Bandung. Bobotoh is a term for staunch Persib Bandung supporters. Persib Bandung has thousands, even millions, of fanatical fans around the world. Their fantastic power is not only shown through support on the field but also as a pillar for the survival of Persib.

"Persib Bandung is the real Champion."

5 Esteghlal F.C. (Iran)

Esteghlal is not only the greatest football club but also the greatest sports cultural club in the history of Iranian sports. Anyone who searches about the origin and authenticity of this club will find out the facts. Don't believe any lies you read about the greatest club of Iran on the internet from other clubs' delusional fans. Go and search about it yourself. The truth is obvious.

East Bengal Club is the best club in India and also the best in the world. They have won the Asian Cup trophy. East Bengal Club is a 100-year-old club with the best fan base in the world. East Bengal is not just a club. It is like a mother to me.

6 Persepolis F.C. (Iran)

The most popular team in Asia, Persepolis F.C., also known as the Red Army, has registered the highest number of spectators in a stadium worldwide, with 120,000 persons. Persepolis has the most honors, cups, and championships in Iran and the Asian continent. It is also the only club in Iran to have earned a real star after winning its 10th championship, a feat #FC_KISE has never achieved.

Referring to the AFC, Persepolis F.C. of Iran is number one forever in terms of fans. With 40 million fans in Iran and over 10 million abroad, Persepolis is the top club in Asia.

For me, Bengaluru FC has to be in the Top 10 Asian clubs given their consistency and ability to learn from mistakes. Being a young club in terms of the number of years of its existence, it has shown some tremendous results.

This has to be in the top 2. Best doesn't just mean attendance. Bengaluru FC is about winning trophies. 2 times league champions, 2 times federation cup champions, and current super cup champions.

Professionalism is the most important part of this club. It is the club that wins trophies.
