With limited sporting and financial incentive for the clubs, the Super Cup has become an undeniable inconvenience...
The Super Cup is one competition which has been riddled with controversies ever since its inception last year. If the clubs had lambasted the organisers for scheduling it after the league culminated, as the players had no motivation to play and the federation just wanted to conduct one for the sake of it.
This time the tournament has lost already its sheen with three matches already finishing in a walkover. The majority of I-League clubs are sticking to their stand of not taking the pitch unless the All India Football Federation (AIFF) reschedules the three qualifiers.
