The 2021 Durand Cup was the 130th edition of Durand Cup, the oldest football tournament in Asia. Like its previous edition, the tournament was hosted in West Bengal.^[1] The tournament is jointly hosted by the Eastern Command of the Indian Armed Forces and the Government of West Bengal.^[2]

The Durand Cup was cancelled in 2020 due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic and was reorganised in 2021 after a year gap.^[3] Gokulam Kerala were the defending champions, having defeated Mohun Bagan in the 2019 final.^[4]^[5]

Mohammedan made their first Durand Cup final appearance since 2013 against debutants FC Goa.^[6] The match went into the extra time with no goal from either side. Goan captain Edu Bedia's 105th minute solitary goal sealed Goa's victory against Mohammedan.^[7] Goa became the fourth Goan team to win the Durand Cup after Salgaocar, Dempo and Churchill Brothers.

Mohun Bagan and East Bengal were invited to be part of the tournament but most of the first team players of Mohun Bagan were on international break and also had their AFC Cup knockouts coinciding with the Durand Cup fixtures, thus they backed out from the tournament, while East Bengal refused participation because of investor issues. Since this year India celebrates golden jubilee of its victory over Pakistan for the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971, DFTS invited Mohammedan SC and Sk. Jamal Dhanmondi Club from Bangladesh to participate in the 130th edition of the tournament. But due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh, the clubs were unable to confirm their participation.^[13]
