As both sides will aim to earn their designated Durand Cup final ticket, as this is Asia’s oldest & most prestigious tournament.

The Highlanders, who are set to play at Shillong’s JLN Stadium despite it not being their home stadium, find the environment suits them, and Mohun Bagan and also NorthEast United FC played all of their Durand Cup 2026 group stage games in this stadium.

So it is very evident that the stadium and atmosphere are well known to Kaizad’s squad, as they set to lock horns against one of the biggest Indian clubs. Mohun Bagan’s good support is what NorthEast needed the most to book their berth in the final.

Mohun Bagan, who also played a great brand of football in their group stage format, faced a very tough test when they came up against Jamshedpur FC, where they secured the win on Penalties as Vishal Kaith became the saviour for the Mariners.

Mohun Bagan will eye their 17th while NorthEast look for the third title

A tough battle awaits both sides in the Durand Cup 2026 semi-final, as Mohun Bagan will be all set to battle their hearts out against NorthEast United FC after they fought very closely with Jamshedpur FC and qualified for the semi-finals after a win on penalties. And for the Highlanders, it was a butter-smooth run till now as they edged past Shillong Lajong 5-2 with a dominant display, and now they have also earned a spot in the knockout stage.

For Mohun Bagan, it will be a very important match in the Durand Cup as, if they go through and somehow manage to get their hands on the 17th title after they last lifted the prestigious cup competition in 2023, while NorthEast United FC will look to play for the third consecutive Durand Cup title as they powered past Shillong Lajong FC in their last quarter-final clash.

Both sides need to maintain their natural shape when they play in a game like this and also strengthen their nerve to put up a very good fight, and relying on their attacking transitions, both sides might haunt their opponents.

East Bengal FC have already secured their place in the finals after securing a win at home on 19th August, defeating Sporting Club Delhi on penalties and now either Mohun Bagan or NorthEast will join them in the final matchup on 23rd August at Kolkata.
