The Super Cup (also known as the Hero Super Cup for sponsorship reasons) is a knockout football tournament in India. The tournament features all the 20 teams that play in the I-League and Indian Super League. Both leagues are considered joint top divisions for professional football in India. The tournament is organized by the All India Football Federation.
The Super Cup is a knockout football tournament. The top six teams from both the top tier leagues for professional football in India, the I-League and Indian Super League, qualify directly for the main round of the competition. The bottom four clubs from each league participate in qualification round to complete the 16 teams which participate in the pre-quarter finals. The 2018 edition is currently occurring at the Kalinga Stadium.
On 19 February 2018, the All India Football Federation announced the creation of the Super Cup as a replacement for the Federation Cup, India's main knockout football tournament. The qualifiers for the inaugural tournament began on 15 March and concluded on 16 March 2018. The tournament proper then commenced on 31 March and will conclude with the final on 20 April 2018.
