I League 2016-17: East Bengal to start campaign against Aizawl FC in Barasat on Jan 07
Mohun Bagan meet Churchill Brothers in first match at Rabindra Sarobar on Jan 08
Internet Desk: I League champions Bengaluru FC will kick start its campaign against Shillong Lajong at Kanteerava Stadium on Januray 07. Kolkata giants East Bengal hosts Aizawl FC at Barasat stadium on the same day. I League runners and Federation Cup champions begin their campaign the following day against Churchill Brothers at Rabindra Sarobar Stadium.
The first derby of the forthcoming I League 2016-17 is likely to take place in Siliguri on February 12, 2017. The derby will be hosted by East Bengal while the return leg will be hosted by Mohun Bagan in Guwahati.
East Bengal will play their home matches in Barasat while Mohun Bagan will have Rabindra Sarobar stadium as their home ground. Earlier both East Bengal and Mohun Bagan has shown Rabindra Sarobar stadium as their home venues. East Bengal also showed Barasat as the second option for home matches.
The Rabindra Sarobar stadium was the venue for Atletico de Kolkata’s home matches in the Indian Super League this season. Both the Kolkata giants were somewhat forced to show Rabindra Sarobar Stadium as its home venue due to the unavailability of the Salt Lake Stadium which is getting ready for the FIFA U’17 World Cup in India.
It will be a double header on the opening day of the I League next year with East Bengal hosting Aizawl FC at Barasat Stadium while champions Bengaluru FC taking on Shillong Lajong at Kanteerava Stadium. Federation Cup champions Mohun Bagan begin their campaign against Churchill Brothers on January 08 at Rabindra Sarobar Stadium.
Newly inducted team Minerva Punjab FC will travel to Chennai to play fellow debutants Chennai City FC on January 8.
The first Kolkata derby will be on February 12 where East Bengal will play the hosts at the Kanchenjunga Stadium in Siliguri. Bagan will be play their home matches at the Rabindra Sarovar Stadium, which was home to Indian Super League ISL) champions Atletico de Kolkata (ATK).
The I-League will be a 10-team affair this season after Goa clubs Salgaocar, Sporting Clube de Goa and Dempo SC decided to pull the plug on their first team operations citing lack of vision on AIFF's part after the proposed plan of merger of two leagues.

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment
