The two most successful teams in the history of Durand Cup, East Bengal and Mohun Bagan, will square off in the final on Sunday.
The Durand Cup, Asia’s oldest football tournament, will add another chapter to its long history on Sunday, August 23, when East Bengal and Mohun Bagan Super Giant meet in the final of the 135th edition in Kolkata.
It is a final that brings together the two most successful clubs in the competition’s history. Mohun Bagan has won the Durand Cup 17 times, while East Bengal has 16 titles, meaning Sunday’s winner will either strengthen its lead at the top or draw level with its great rival.
The Kolkata derby also carries recent history. Mohun Bagan beat East Bengal in the opening match of this year’s tournament and went on to reach the final after edging defending champion NorthEast United on penalties in the semifinal. East Bengal, meanwhile, secured its place in the title clash by beating SC Delhi in a shootout.
The rivalry stretches back decades, but the Durand Cup roll of honour also reflects the tournament’s wider history, from British Army regiments dominating its early years to the emergence of Indian clubs and modern professional teams.
