Kolkata Derby: Fans gear up to cheer for their respective clubs in ‘New Normal’

The ‘new normal’ has been harsh on the football fans of Kolkata but they will still cheer for their respective clubs from back home…

The year 2020 has brought both joy and sadness for the Kolkata football fans.

While on one hand, the Kolkata giants entered the Indian Super League (ISL) this year, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic the football-crazy fans of the city will not be able to watch their clubs making their debuts in the top tier league in person as the league is being held in Goa this season.

ISL will witness its first-ever Kolkata derby on November 27 but due to the Covid-19 situation, the titanic clash will be held behind closed doors, a first time in the history of the iconic rivalry.
