A galaxy of former and current Bagan players were present at the annual programme which celebrates the club's triumph in the IFA Shield in 1911.

The green and maroon players defeated the British team East York Regiment 2-1 in the final on this day to emerge as the first Indian club to win the IFA Shield. The victory created a nationalistic fervour and charged up the masses then fighting for independence from British rule.

The day was marked with several exhibition football matches in which teenagers, sports journalists, film and television actors and former and present players of Bagan took part.
