Overview
- The Disciplinary Committee fined Mohun Bagan Super Giant and ordered restrictions on spectators for the March 6 home match against Odisha FC at Kolkata’s Salt Lake Stadium.
- Mohun Bagan said it accepted the monetary penalty but opposed the attendance ban, adding that an appeal to lift it was rejected.
- AIFF officials reiterated that any challenge must go through the Appeal Committee under the Disciplinary Code and emphasized stadium safety for all stakeholders.
- The sanction stems from a suspended stadium-closure issued on June 3, 2025, after fireworks from home stands in April 2025 allegedly struck Bengaluru FC’s owner, with a new breach cited for multiple pyrotechnics on February 14, 2026.
- While most outlets report a full closed-door match, Hindustan Times reported an amended decision for a partial closure and a ₹50,000 fine, a claim not uniformly corroborated.
