The Kalinga Super Cup 2025 kicks off with an intense Round of 16 clash between Jamshedpur FC and Hyderabad FC. As both teams eye a spot in the knockout stage, this matchup promises excitement for fans of Indian football.

Jamshedpur FC Riding High on ISL Momentum

After finishing in the top five of the Indian Super League (ISL), Jamshedpur FC enters the Super Cup with high hopes. Last year, they dominated the group stage with three consecutive wins before falling short in the semis against East Bengal. Now, they’re determined to go further.

If the Red Miners secure a win over Hyderabad, they’ll face either NorthEast United or Mohammedan SC in the next round. With players like Jordan Murray and Francisco Javier Hernandez Gonzalez leading the charge, Jamshedpur’s squad looks well-rounded and ready for another deep tournament run.

Hyderabad FC Aiming for Redemption

Meanwhile, Hyderabad FC is desperate to turn things around after a rough ISL season. With only four wins in 24 matches and a second-last league finish, the Nizams have a point to prove. Their last Super Cup outing was disappointing, ending winless in a tough group featuring East Bengal and Mohun Bagan.

This year, even a single victory could send Hyderabad to the semifinals, and the team will be banking on fresh faces like Joseph Sunny and Edmilson Correia to make an impact.
