After beating United Kolkata SC 3-0 in their Calcutta Football League (CFL) 2025 Premier Division Championship Round opener at the East Bengal Ground on Thursday, Group A toppers Emami East Bengal FC will face Group B runners-up Diamond Harbour FC in their second Championship Round clash at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan on Sunday afternoon (Kickoff: 3 PM).

The Red & Gold Brigade are currently on a five-match winning streak, having scored 14 goals and conceded just once in these five encounters.

Diamond Harbour FC, meanwhile, finished second in Group B with 25 matches from 12 games. They were awarded a walkover victory against Southern Samity who decided not to field their team in their final Group B fixture.

Both teams haven’t found much time for recovery, but we are mentally and physically ready for Sunday’s match. Everyone knows DHFC is a formidable opponent. We have got our plans ready and would request our fans to fill the Kishore Bharati Krirangan on Sunday afternoon.”
