NEW DELHI: All India Football Federation said it has a commitment to hold the season-ending Super Cup and decision on the one-off contest will be taken in a couple of days.

I-League champions Dempo had sent a letter to the AIFF, suggesting that their Super Cup match against Federation Cup winners East Bengal may not be held as their players are not interested in it after a long season.
“The decision about playing the Super Cup is a commitment AIFF has with the sponsor. AIFF has no objection if the sponsor wants to hold the prize distribution at any other time with an appropriate function,” AIFF general secretary, Mr Alberto Colaco said. “A decision about this (Super Cup) will be taken in a day or two,” he added.
Super Cup is the match between I-League champions and Federation Cup winners and the prize distribution ceremony of the I-League season is also normally held after the match. Last year, then Federation Cup winners Mohun Bagan had defeated Churchill Brothers in the Super Cup to win Rs 10 lakh as
prize money.
In his letter to the AIFF, Dempo coach and secretary, Armando Colaco had hinted that holding Super Cup match does not serve any purpose and the prize money should better be used for youth development.
“The players are reluctant to play the Super Cup. They are tired after an extended season and have no motivation left,” Armando had written in the letter.
