The ISL final has now been confirmed, and we’re all set for a replay of Mumbai City FC vs Mohun Bagan SG at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata. This fixture, in the same ground, was the decider for the ISL shield with the Mariners winning the game to ensure they won the title in front of their home fans.
Now, they have the opportunity to win the domestic treble and do it in their own backyard, now that they have made it to the finals as well. They have already won the Durand Cup and the ISL Shield at the Salt Lake Stadium, and the ISL Cup would be the perfect way to end an incredible season for them.
Interestingly, this is the first time that the historic stadium will host the finals of the ISL in spite of being one of the hotbeds of Indian football.

The AIFF had revealed that the finals will be played at the home ground of the higher ranked team in the league. And it was confirmed to be the Yuba Bharati Krirangan after Mohun Bagan SG defeated Odisha FC 2-0 in front of a sold out crowd yesterday.
The only question was who they would face in the final game of the season. And after Mumbai City FC’s 2-0 win over FC Goa in the second leg of their semifinal tie, the rematch has now been set up.
Mumbai will be eager to get a result in their favour this time around, but will have to battle the intense atmosphere at the stadium alongside a stacked squad.
When is the ISL final?
May 4, Saturday
