The prestigious Durand Cup football tournament is all set to have Shillong in Meghalaya and Kokrajhar in Assam as its new host venues this year, announced the organising committee on Wednesday.


The committee announced that the tournament will be held between August 3 and September 3.


Last year's edition saw Indian football legend Sunil Chhetri winning the coveted Durand Cup for the first time in his glittering career, after his side Bengaluru FC defeated Mumbai City FC 2-1 in a thrilling final in Kolkata.
