Durand Cup: Mohun Bagan Super Giant eye strong start against Mohammedan SC
Kolkata, July 30 (UNI) The Durand Cup 2025 stage is set for a fiery Kolkata Derby as Indian Super League (ISL) side Mohun Bagan Super Giant kick off their campaign against city rivals Mohammedan Sporting Club at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan here tomorrow. While this will be MBSG's first appearance in the 2025 edition, Mohammedan SC come into the clash under pressure after a 2-1 defeat to Diamond Harbour FC in their opener. Mohammedan SC had taken the lead but suffered a heartbreaking loss after conceding in the death. Another loss could all but end their hopes of progressing to the knockout stage, a fate they suffered last season. The Mariners, meanwhile, will be keen to build on their runner-up finish in the 2024 edition. Last year, they were agonisingly close to lifting the trophy, having led 2-0 in the final before NorthEast United FC mounted a dramatic comeback and triumphed on penalties. The Mariners, who did the double in the ISL 2024-25 season, enter the tournament brimming with confidence. They also defeated Mohammedan SC twice in the ISL last season. With a deep squad and strong momentum, MBSG will be eyeing another deep run in the Durand Cup. However, for head coach Mehrajuddin Wadoo and Mohammedan SC, this is a must-win. The club, which reached the Durand Cup final in 2021 and the semi-finals a year later, is desperate to avoid another early exit. But they'll have to defy the odds against a far more experienced MBSG side. UNI BM

Imphal: The 134th edition of the Durand Cup, Asia's oldest football tournament, kicked off on Wednesday in Manipur after a two-year break due to the ethnic conflict in the northeastern state. The opening match of Group F was played between two football clubs from Manipur TRAU FC and NEROCA FC at Khuman Lampak Main Stadium in Imphal.

A cheerful football lover, Sanday Wangkhemcha while talking to IANS thanked the Army and other organisers for conducting the Durand Cup football tournament in Manipur. 'Amid the ethnic crisis in Manipur, the football tournament would ease the mindset of the people of the state. It would also encourage the young generations to take football as their career. We expect more important football tournaments including Santosh Trophy, Indian Super League can be held in Manipur for the benefit of the sports lovers and common people as well,' Wangkhemcha said. Other Group F matches, including games with the Indian Army Football Team would also be played at the same stadium in the upcoming days.

He had stated that hosting this tournament in Imphal once again is a testament to the state's deep passion for football and the collective efforts of both the civil and military establishments. The Indian Army has consistently been a pillar of strength in promoting sports and youth engagement, he had said.
