Kolkata derby likely in March next year as IFA plans upcoming season

The Hindu  

ATK Mohun Bagan and East Bengal may cross swords the only time in the upcoming season in March next year when the West Bengal football association is planning to stage the Calcutta Football League Premier Division. Mohun Bagan’s merger with ATK meant that the Indian Super League is likely to miss out on the fever-pitched Kolkata derby, as its arch-rival East Bengal is almost certain to remain in the second-rung I-League for the upcoming season. We are looking at the window from February last week to March,” IFA general secretary Joydeep Mukherjee told PTI on the sidelines of Football Lovers’ Day. This day is considered as one of the most tragic days in Indian football history as 16 fans died in a crowd violence during the Kolkata derby match of the CFL in 1980.
