Club career
[edit]Youth
[edit]Hailing from Karnataka, Anil Chawan's professional career journey began in the neighbouring state of Goa, where the then fifteen-year-old was selected for Sesa Football Academy. As a defender, he was regarded as one of the bright talents from the Sesa Academy's batch by the coaches which soon led to his promotion to the Sesa's senior squad two years later.
Sesa
[edit]At the age of eighteen, Chawan was promoted to the senior side of Sesa which participated in the Goa First Division League, the second tier league of Goa. He captained the Sesa's side in the 2018-19 season where he delivered a notable performance with two goals and five assits to his name over twelve games played, thus helping the team in promotion to Goa Professional League, the top tier league of the state. In the league's campaign, Chawan also bagged three man of the match awards. The 2018-19 season with Sesa was noticed by the Indian Super League side ATK who signed him for the 2019-20 season, marking a leap in the Chawan's career.[1]
ATK
[edit]On 24 July 2019, Anil Chawan was signed by the then ISL side ATK for the 2019-20 season of club's campaign. Marking him as the only second player after Denzil Franco from Sesa to have ever signed for ATK. He was registered into the ATK squad lead by Antonio Habas for the club's preseason and was on the bench for ATK's opening game against Kerala Blasters away at Kochi.
We have signed Chawan as a promising asset owing to his strong credentials and past performances. We see a bright future for him ahead.

He was then selected for ATK's Reserve side where he was handed over the captain's armband for I-League 2nd Disvision.
