Several tickets were sent before this It is a long tradition. Courtesy also expressed to fellow affiliates. This small number of tickets is far less than the IFA needs. Because there are more than 300 club and district sports bodies under IFA. Those who work at the grass root level of Bengali football bring up players and enrich Bengali football. They get a chance to watch ISL matches through IF. Besides, the members of IFA's governing body, who work as the direction of the progress of Bengal’S football, also get the opportunity to watch the game through IFA. The sending of such a small number of tickets prevented clubs and members of the governing body from watching the game. Emami East Bengal have shown little courtesy to the members of the club and the governing body. Not only that, this behavior of Emami East Bengal is humiliating for IFA and clubs. So the IFA sent back this ticket."It is known that Mohun Bagan has also sent back the tickets with similar complaints.
