Durand Cup 2021: Fixtures, Results, Groups, Telecast and more
The Durand Cup is unique in the sense the winners are awarded three trophies.
The 130th edition of the Durand Cup will take place in September and October. The third oldest tournament in the world was not held last season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the pandemic ravaging the country, only the Indian Super League (ISL), I-League and the I-League Qualifiers took place, under restrictions and in a bio-bubble.
Earlier in August, Durand Football Tournament Society and the Additional Directorate General of Public Information, Indian Army both confirmed that the tournament will go ahead this year. The host city is Kolkata in West Bengal. The football-crazy city also played host to the 2019 edition.
