The Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK; transl.Vivekananda Indian Youth Stadium), commonly known as the Salt Lake Stadium,[7][8] is an all-seater multi-purpose stadium located in Salt Lake City, Kolkata, with a capacity of 68,000 spectators.[5] Named after Swami Vivekananda, the stadium is the home ground for multiple football clubs, most notably Mohun Bagan, East Bengal and Mohammedan. It was the fifth largest sports stadium in Asia by seating capacity.[needs update][9] Prior to undergoing renovations in 2011, it had a seating capacity of 120,000.[10][11] Prior to the construction and opening of Rungrado May Day Stadium in 1989, it was the largest football stadium in the world. The stadium hosted the final match of the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup, alongside other matches of the tournament.[12][13] As part of security measures for the 2017 U-17 World Cup, the stadium was only open for 66,687 viewers.[14][9]

The stadium's record attendance was recorded in 1997 when 134,000 spectators watched the Federation Cup semifinal between East Bengal and Mohun Bagan.[15]

The stadium switched back to natural grass from artificial turf as part of the preparations for hosting the U-17 World Cup. The new turf was unveiled in a Kolkata Derby match between East Bengal and Mohun Bagan during the 2016 Calcutta Premier Division match.[16]
