Mohun- Bagan vs East Bengal derby is set to be cancelled as organisers have refused mariners demand to postpone the match. In a big blow for the state of football in Bengal, the much-awaited Kolkata derby between Mohun Bagan and East Bengal in the local league on Wednesday is all set to be cancelled with organisers in no mood to shift the date. We have informed Mohun Bagan that the match cannot be postponed," IFA secretary Utpal Ganguli said. About eight of our players have not even seen Kalyani Stadium, how can we play without even a day's practice?" Mitra further said they suggested Mohun Bagan Stadium as an alternate venue but it did not get police permission.
