Excitement builds in Bengaluru for the ISL 2025-26 showdown at Sree Kanteerava Stadium, where FC hosts NorthEast United FC on Sunday. Buoyed by a 2-0 masterclass over SC Delhi—thanks to Shivshakti Narayanan and Sunil Chhetri’s brilliance—the West Block Blues aim to extend their hot streak.
NorthEast United, rebounding from a loss to Bengal, faces a stern historical challenge: no away wins over Bengaluru post-2018. In this compact 13-match campaign, no point can be squandered.
Press conference insights from Thoiba Singh: ‘Teams crave the ball, but true wins come from sharp attacks and solid defense. We’ll peak on Sunday with ample scoring windows ahead.’
Chinglensana Singh added, ‘Season-long pressure calls for togetherness. One game, one focus—with victory as the goal. I’m optimistic about our display.’
Their prior 2-2 thriller at NorthEast’s den hints at open play ahead. Bengaluru’s firepower meets NorthEast’s resolve, blending strategy and spectacle. This match could reshape standings, drawing fans for what promises to be a memorable ISL chapter.
