Kalinga Super Cup Teams To Follow AFC's Six Overseas Player Rule: AIFF
The 16 participating teams can register up to six foreign players in the starting line-up with one from Asia
The 16 participating teams can register up to six foreign players in the starting line-up with one from Asia.
This is following the AFC club competition regulations.
"This decision has been taken in view of the fact that winners of the Kalinga Super Cup will qualify for the AFC Champions League 2 2024-25," the AIFF stated.
The Indian Super League follows a 3+1 rule -- three non-Asian and one Asian player in the starting XI, even as the top-tier league allows to register six foreign players.
The 12 ISL clubs have gained direct entry, while the I-League franchises will play the qualifiers to determine the remaining four teams.
