The 2022 Durand Cup, also known as IndianOil Durand Cup due to sponsorship ties with Indian Oil Corporation, was the 131st edition of the Durand Cup, the oldest football tournament in Asia, and also the first edition since it was supported by the Asian Football Confederation. ^[1] This year for the first time the tournament was played in more than one venue. ^[2] The tournament is hosted by the Durand Football Tournament Society in co-operation with the AIFF, Eastern Command of the Indian Armed Forces and the Government of West Bengal, supported by the governments Assam and Manipur. ^[3]

The Durand Football Tournament Society (DFTS) organised a 15-day trophy tour prior to the beginning of the tournament. ^[24] The tour was flagged off at the Eastern Command headquarters at Fort William in Kolkata on 19 July in the presence of the DFTS Chairman and Chief of Staff (Eastern Command) – Lt. Gen. KK Repswal, the Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs (Government of West Bengal) – Aroop Biswas and General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (Eastern Command) – Lt. Gen. RP Kalita. ^[25] The Durand Cup, along with the President Cup and the Shimla Cup, visited Guwahati on 21 July, Imphal from 24–25 July, Jaipur from 27–28 July and a number of cities in Goa from 2–3 August before returning to Kolkata, where the tour was flagged in on 12 August at Gostha Pal Sarani, in front of the statue of legendary Indian footballer Gostha Pal. ^{[25] [26]} The destinations for the tour is selected particularly keeping in mind that Guwahati and Imphal are the first time hosts for the tournament, a Rajasthani team from Jaipur would be participating for the first time after forty years, and the defending champions hail from Goa. ^[25]

Official song

On 12 August, the DFTS released a theme song along with a music video to commemorate the age-old tournament entering a new era with the first time recognition from the AFC and participation of all ISL clubs.
