The 132nd edition of the Durand Cup is just around the corner. The ancient football tournament has been revived in a new fashion lately and it has emerged to be one of India's premier football tournaments. 24 teams will participate this time in this tournament which has been dominated mostly by two Kolkata giants, East Bengal and Mohun Bagan. They won the tournament 16 times each and with the Kolkata Derby slated for a 12th August showdown, we could witness yet another exciting tournament this time.
