The cup competition will take place from March 15 to April 13, 2019. While the format of the tournament remains the same, the team that ends at the bottom of the table in the I-League (11th-placed team) will not be allowed to participate.
The 2019 Super Cup will have 20 teams as participants, with the top six teams of Indian Super League (ISL) and I-League getting a direct entry. The bottom four teams of ISL and the teams placed seventh to 10th in I-League will have to play qualifiers.
FC Basel is taking 35% share of CCFC at a price of 20-25 million Euros (Rs 164 cr), first time 'direct sale' of shares of an Indian club to a premier foreign club. CCFC will apply to play in ISL (probably from a city other than Chennai) and build their own stadium.
