Durand Cup 2025: Home Favourites Hope For Strong Start To Build Early Advantage
Karbi Anglong Morning Star FC: The 134th Durand Cup, beginning July 23, has 10 matches lined up across the five host cities of Kolkata, Jamshedpur, Shillong, Kokrajhar and Imphal, in what promises to be an exciting week one of footballing action, particularly with popular home favourites looking to build an early advantage with strong starts.
Top Indian Super League (ISL) teams East Bengal FC (16-time former winners) and Jamshedpur FC (former ISL League Winners Shield winners) kick-off one after another on the first two match days, while at least three local derbies, featuring other top local contenders like Mohammedan Sporting (former champions), Shillong Lajong FC and Neroca FC (former finalists), are likely to garner significant local interest.
With teams like ISL champions Mohun Bagan Super Giant, defending champions NorthEast United FC and ISL side Punjab FC beginning in week two, early three points will give a fillip to the early starters looking to seal knockout berths.
