East Bengal FC secured their semi final qualification hopes with a devastating 4-0 victory over Chennaiyin FC in Group A of the AIFF Super Cup 2025-26 at the GMC Stadium in Bambolim on Tuesday, October 28. The result also confirmed Chennaiyin's elimination from the tournament following back to back defeats at the hands of the Kolkata Clubs.

In a dramatic finale befitting one of football's most storied rivalries, Mohun Bagan Super Giant clinched their 21st IFA Shield title by defeating East Bengal FC 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan on Saturday. The victory marked Mohun Bagan Super Giant's first IFA Shield triumph since 2003, ending a 22 year wait that had seen them reach five finals without success.
