Durand Cup 2023 Schedule: Date, Teams, Fixtures and Points Table

The 132nd edition of Asia’s oldest football tournament, the Durand Cup 2023, commenced on August 3. This year’s tournament is unique as it includes 24 teams from the Indian Super League, I-League, and the Armed Forces. This number of teams is an increase from last year’s 20, and they have been distributed into six groups, each consisting of four teams. Among these groups, three will compete in matches held in Kolkata, two in Guwahati, and one in Kokrajhar, Assam.

Tie-Breakers:

• Head-to-Head Record: If two or more teams have the same points, their performance against each other will be considered.
• Goal Difference: If the head-to-head record is also tied, the goal difference will be used to differentiate between teams.
• Goals Scored: In case both head-to-head and goal difference are equal, the total number of goals scored will be taken into account.
• Goals Conceded: If goals scored are also identical, the team that has conceded fewer goals will be given preference.
• Disciplinary Record: Should all the previous criteria be tied, the number of yellow and red cards received by the teams will be considered. The team with the better disciplinary record will proceed.
• Toss: If all the above factors are still equal, a random ‘toss’ will be used to make the final decision.

Here’s the schedule for the Durand Cup 2023 semifinals:-

• August 29 – NorthEast United FC vs East Bengal – Kolkata – 4PM IST
• August 31 – Mohun Bagan Super Giant vs FC Goa – Kolkata – 4PM IST
