Defending champions NorthEast United face debutants Diamond Harbour in the final of the Durand Cup 2025 at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (Salt Lake Stadium), Kolkata, on Sunday (August 23, 2025). Watch the NorthEast United vs Diamond Harbour football match live.
The title showdown for the 134th edition of Asia's football competition presents an intriguing clash, layered with many narratives. With the Indian Super League in limbo due to legal and governance disputes, this final will serve as one veritable referendum on what Indian football could become.
On the eve of the NorthEast United vs Diamond Harbour final, the Supreme Court mandated another hearing, of course, with a clear directive to find a solution. Expect more tifos to hit the stands on Sunday, against the AIFF and FSDL -- the conduits of mayhem.
Even as the fate of the Indian Super League, the country's top division, hangs in the balance, the Highlanders have been in a title defence like nothing is happening. Their title defence has been clinical, and almost defiant. A win, and they would become the first team in 24 years to retain the Durand Cup.
The Harbour Boys, meanwhile, are out there to upset the established norms in Indian football. Kibu Vicuna and his team have already won Kolkata bragging rights, having defeated East Bengal in the semis, the second most successful side in the history of the tournament.
Not so long ago, they were playing district football, effectively, and now history beckons -- when was the last time a debutant side went all the way and lifted this coveted trophy?
