Durand Cup 2024: East Bengal to face Shillong Lajong in quarters on August 21

The line-up for the quarter-finals of the 133rd IndianOil Durand Cup were announced here today by the Local Organizing Committee after a draw was held virtually with representatives of the eight qualified teams present.

A decision to shift the second quarter-final from Kolkata to Shillong was also taken, taking into consideration the playing conditions.
