Just a few hours of waiting remain. On Sunday (May 17), the stage is set for a colossal battle at Kolkata's Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan. This high-voltage Kolkata Derby clash is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 PM. Meanwhile, last Saturday, All India Football Federation (AIFF) President Kalyan Chaubey visited the Salt Lake Stadium to conduct an inspection. Speaking to the media, he addressed several key questions. Kalyan Chaubey stated, "I came here to oversee the arrangements. In the current league season (ISL 2025-26), this 'big match' is taking place at a juncture where the winning team will move significantly closer to lifting the trophy. I believe that never before—since the inception of the ISL tournament—has such a scenario unfolded. We have been witnessing the ISL since 2014. For the very first time, the Kolkata Derby is poised to serve as a decisive fixture in the ISL tournament. I hope that the football fans of Kolkata will get to enjoy a fantastic match."
