Qualification round

After the conclusion of the I-League and Indian Super League seasons, the All India Football Federation announced the draw for the qualification round of the Super Cup. Before the qualification round, seven I-League clubs — Minerva Punjab, East Bengal, Mohun Bagan, NEROCA, Gokulam Kerala, Aizawl, and Chennai City — announced they would withdraw from Super Cup, citing "unfair treatment to I-League clubs."[5]
