Chanmari FC Faces Must-Win Clash Against Diamond Harbour FC in Title Decider

Chanmari FC will square off against Diamond Harbour FC in a decisive Championship phase encounter of the Indian Football League 2025-26 at Aizawl's Rajiv Gandhi Stadium on April 25. Diamond Harbour leads the standings with 22 points, requiring a few more victories to effectively secure the title.

Chanmari FC, trailing in fifth place with 11 points, must capitalize on home advantage in what is a must-win scenario. Having ended the league stage on a high with a 4-1 victory over Namdhari FC, they aim to disrupt the visitors' title hopes while maintaining their own mathematical chances.

As defensively vulnerable Chanmari braces against Diamond Harbour's prolific offense, they rely on midfielder Christopher Kamei to unlock scoring opportunities. Meanwhile, Diamond Harbour, rich in attacking firepower, seeks to exert their dominance, but defensive lapses could offer Chanmari an opening. With both sides bearing contrasting forms, this matchup promises a tantalizing contest.
