After weeks of uncertainty, Mohun Bagan Super Giant said on Wednesday that they will host the Kolkata derby of the Indian Super League (ISL) against East Bengal in Guwahati.
Scheduled in Kolkata on Saturday, the match had to be shifted because of inadequate security cover. This is the second time this season that a Mohun Bagan-East Bengal game could not be held at Salt Lake stadium because of the police.
With the match coinciding with Gangasagar Mela, which runs from January 10 to 18, police said they could not deploy enough personnel. According to an official of a Kolkata football club, between 1100 to 1400 police personnel are required for the derby at Salt Lake stadium.
