The Salt Lake Stadium, also called the Yuva Bharati Krirangan, will host the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24 final on May 4 after Mohun Bagan Super Giant beat Odisha 3-2 on aggregate in the semifinals here on Sunday.
Coming into the second leg of the semifinal, trailing 1-2, Mohun Bagan rode on goals by Jason Cummings and Sahal Abdul Samad to complete a comeback.
Earlier this week, the league had announced that the final will be played at the home ground of the higher-ranked team, with Kolkata (Mohun Bagan Super Giant), Mumbai (Mumbai City FC) and Goa (FC Goa) in the reckoning.

However, with Mohun Bagan winning the semifinal, the venue was locked as the Mariners had also topped the league phase, winning the League Winners Shield in the process.
The Salt Lake Stadium has been a lucky venue for the Mariners this season as they have won the Shield and the Durand Cup at the same venue.
Mohun Bagan will play Mumbai City FC in what will be a repeat fixture of the ISL League Winners Shield, at the same venue. The Islanders beat FC Goa 5-2 on aggregate, with Lallianzuala Chhangte and Jorge Pereyra Diaz scoring in the second leg.
