Kolkata derby between Mohun Bagan and East Bengal abandoned

Jamshedpur among potential venues for rest of city’s Durand Cup 2024 matches

The Durand Cup Group Stage match between East Bengal and Mohun Bagan Super Giant scheduled to be played on Sunday, at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata, has been abandoned due to potential security issues.

With the city witnessing protests around the rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College, the city police has reportedly cited providing security as a major challenge.

The tickets for the match are also expected to be fully refunded and there are talks about the tournament being shifted out of Kolkata. Both Mohun Bagan and East Bengal have qualified for the quarterfinals of the tournament.
