Kerala's only I-League team Gokulam Kerala will take on ISL semifinalists FC Goa in the Super Cup in Bhubaneswar on April 21. Kerala Blasters, the other team from Kerala in the annual knockout cup competition, were earlier paired up with East Bengal for the opener on April 20. The initial fixtures devoid of I-League teams were announced on April 7.
The remaining draw featuring the three I-League teams, Gokulam, Churchill Brothers and Inter Kashi, was released by the All India Football Federation on April 9.
On April 20, Churchill will play ISL Shield winners Mohun Bagan Super Giant. Inter Kashi will take on Bengaluru FC on April 23. Mohun Bagan and Bengaluru are set to play the ISL final on April 12.
Gokulam missed out on a chance to win the I-League title on the weekend after losing their final game to Dempo. The I-League title is still undecided with Inter Kashi awaiting a verdict from AIFF Appeals Committee while Churchill remain as provisional winners.
Should the Blasters and Gokulam win their opening two knockout fixtures, they could play each other in the semifinals. The Blasters will line up under new head coach David Catala. The Super Cup final is scheduled for May 3.
