Get ready for the ultimate showdown in Indian football as the Indian Super Cup 2023 kicks off from April 8 to 25. With 16 teams battling it out for the coveted title and a chance to secure a spot in the AFC Cup 2023-24, this is the tournament that everyone is talking about.
After a three-year hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indian Super Cup is back and this year, it is being held in Kerala. With 11 Indian Super League clubs and reigning I-League champions RoundGlass Punjab qualifying directly from the main draw, and the remaining five teams – Sreenidi Deccan, Aizawl FC, Gokulam Kerala, and Churchill Brothers – making it through the qualifiers, the competition promises to be fierce.
The 16 teams have been divided into four groups of four teams each for the group stage, with each team playing each other once in a round-robin format. The top team from each group will advance to the semi-finals on April 21 and 22. The tournament will be held at two venues – the EMS Corporation Stadium in Kozhikode and the Payyanad Stadium in Manjeri. The final will be played on April 25 in Kozhikode.
If you’re looking for the full schedule, standings and results of all fixtures, then look no further. Stay up-to-date with all the latest scores and news by following the Indian Super Cup 2023.
FC Goa are the defending champions, having won the title in the last edition in 2019, while Bengaluru FC emerged victorious in the inaugural edition in 2018. This year, the winner of the Indian Super Cup 2023 will face Gokulam Kerala, the 2021-22 I-League champions, in a playoff match for a spot in the group stages of the AFC Cup 2023-24.
With Mumbai City FC having already secured a spot in the AFC Champions League 2023-24 with a playoff win over Jamshedpur FC, if either Gokulam Kerala or Mumbai City FC win the Indian Super Cup title, the AFC Cup group stage berth will be awarded to Gokulam without the need for any playoff match.
