Kolkata: Mohun Bagan creates history on becoming the first team ever in the history of the I-League to host a game in their own ground. The I-League matches were going a bit away from the heart of Kolkata, as the last few seasons the games were shifted to Barasat, Kalyani or Salt Lake Stadium. The football at Kolkata Maidan has always been full of enthusiasm and excitement. Mohun Bagan becomes the first team to bring the game back to the heart of Kolkata football once again.

Right from the broadcasting perspective to attendance, interest from the fans to the engagement of the new sponsors, no doubt Mohun Bagan officials have opened a new dimension with this revolutionary footstep. Today, www.xtratime.in spoke to Mohun Bagan and Indian football legend Chuni Goswami to have his views regarding that.

Chuni Goswami: It’s a great and bold move by the beloved club. In Premier League, La Liga or Bundesliga, we have seen teams to play in a home and away basis where they have their own stadiums to host the home matches. Good to see Mohun Bagan to bring the culture back in Indian football. I want to congratulate the officials for making the dream a reality.
