ISL 2015: Here is why Chennaiyin's home leg against Atletico de Kolkata was moved to Pune

Indian Super League's first leg semifinal tie between Chennaiyin FC and Atletico de Kolkata will be held at Shiv Chhatrapati Shivaji Stadium in Pune on Saturday instead of the Marina Arena in Chennai reported Goal.com.

The decision to move the home leg for the south Indian club to Pune was taken by IMG-Reliance and Star India along with the Chennaiyin FC management. The conclusion was arrived at after evaluating all possibilities for Chennai to host the semi-final match. Unfortunately Chennaiyin's home fans will not be in big numbers to back spur them on but keeping in mind the current situation in Chennai due to the floods, all parties believe that the change in venue is a necessity.
