After the League-Shield, the fight between Kolkata and Mumbai over the final arrangement of the ISL! The center of the final will be finalized within a week.
In 2014, ISL was inaugurated in Yuva Bharati. But the final was never held in Kolkata. The organizers are thinking of Kolkata to make the 10th year of ISL memorable. Mumbai is also in the race to host the final. According to the sources, if the two chiefs of Kolkata had reached the final, it would definitely have been played in Kolkata. The hosts suffered a bit of a shock as East Bengal were knocked out.
They are afraid that even if Mohun Bagan reaches the final, about 63,000 spectators will be able to fill Yuva Bharati or not. This is why Mumbai is being considered as an alternative. But with over 60,000 spectators at Yuva Bharati in the Mohun Bagan vs Mumbai match, that thought has been dispelled. So if all goes well Yuva Bharati is going to have its first ever ISL final.
