5 reasons why the I-League-ISL merger will be harder than it sounds

#4 Which club will represent which city?

Mohun Bagan may have to represent the city of Howrah in the future

This is again another problem that concerns the City of Joy specifically. According to the contract penned down by the franchises, one city can have only one club playing in the ISL.

Calcutta already have Atletico de Kolkata, so where will Mohun Bagan and East Bengal fit in and what will be their home stadiums? Some have suggested that Mohun Bagan can play at the Howrah stadium and represent the city of Howrah, while East Bengal can make Kalyani their home base and the Kalyani Stadium will be their home ground.

It remains to be seen, however, whether these stadiums match the standards set by the ISL Technical Committee who need to approve of the same.
