Bhubaneswar: Odisha FC has revealed its squad for the upcoming Kalinga Super Cup 2025, just one day before their opening match against Punjab FC. The game will take place at Kalinga Stadium on Monday, marking the beginning of the team’s campaign in the tournament. 
Last season, Odisha FC finished as runners-up, and this time, they are determined to go one step further and lift the trophy. The competition, which will be held in Bhubaneswar for the second time, starts on Sunday and promises exciting football action.
The winning team will earn a spot in the AFC Champions League 2 (ACL2) Playoffs, giving them a chance to represent India on the Asian football stage.
However, last year’s final was a heartbreaking loss for Odisha FC, as East Bengal FC defeated them 3-2 in extra time to claim the trophy. That victory ended East Bengal’s 12-year wait for a national title, and they will return this year as defending champions.
