Earlier in the week, the ISL announced that the final would be held at the home ground of the higher-ranked team. With Mohun Bagan topping the league phase and winning the League Winners Shield, the Mariners’ semifinal win over Odisha locked in the final’s location in Kolkata.
The Salt Lake Stadium has been a fortuitous venue for Mohun Bagan this season. It was here that they won both the Shield and the Durand Cup, and they also achieved a memorable 2-1 victory against Mumbai City FC in their final league-phase match in front of over 61,000 fans.
The Mariners and their fans will be hoping to make the most of the home advantage when they face off in the ISL 2023-24 final at Salt Lake Stadium.
