NDTV 24x7 to telecast Durand Cup semi-finals, final live

MUMBAI: NDTV 24X7 is telecasting the semi-finals and finals of the 120 Durand Cup 2007. This is for the first time a non-sports channel will broadcast the tournament live.

This is also the first time that floodlights will be used for the main draw matches at the Ambedkar Stadium. This year's edition also has a new format with reduced length of the tournament and follows the format of a knockout tournament.

The Durand Cup is the oldest football tournament in India and the third oldest football tournament in the world, after the English FA-Cup and the Scottish FA-Cup.
