The 2019 Super Cup (also known as the 2019 Hero Super Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the second edition of the Super Cup and the 40th season of the national knockout football competition in India. The competition was sponsored by Hero MotoCorp. The competition began with the qualifiers on 15 March[1] at Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneshwar and was concluded with the final on 13 April.

Bengaluru were the defending champions but lost to Chennai City in the quarter-finals. Goa won the title by defeating Chennaiyin 2–1 in the final.[2][3]

Teams

[edit]

A total of 16 teams are participating in the competition proper.[4] The top six teams from both the I-League and Indian Super League qualified for the Super Cup automatically while the bottom four sides have participated in the qualifiers. Before the qualification round, seven I-League clubs — Minerva Punjab, East Bengal, Mohun Bagan, NEROCA, Gokulam Kerala and Aizawl announced they would withdraw from Super Cup, citing "unfair treatment to I-League clubs."[5]
