Home team transforms Eden Gardens with groundbreaking tifo displays

This T20 season, Kolkata has taken fan culture to dazzling new heights. The city’s home team has turned Eden Gardens into a pulsating arena of colour and creativity, unveiling 14 distinct tifos across 7 home matches—a first in Indian cricket and a cultural milestone in the country’s sporting landscape.A tifo—typically a large, choreographed visual display involving banners, flags, or coordinated crowd movements—has long been a staple in global football. This season, Kolkata gave it a distinctly local twist, blending sporting passion with regional pride. From bold player tributes to a powerful homage to the “House of Champions,” each tifo added a theatrical edge to the matchday experience, culminating in a spectacular seven-tifo display during the high-stakes clash against Chennai.Each creation echoed the essence of the city: expressive, fearless, and fiercely loyal. Woven into every design was the now-iconic battle cry that defines Kolkata’s cricketing spirit—Korbo, Lorbo, Jeetbo.Beyond the visuals, the project deepened the bond between the team and its fans. It wasn’t just a celebration of the players—it was a tribute to the sea of supporters who turn Eden Gardens into a fortress, match after match, season after season.
