Super Cup: <\/strong>Indian football legend IM Vijayan who built his way as a footballer in Kerala, the venue for the Super Cup expects the tournament to witness packed stadiums throughout the duration of the competition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Vijayan who is regarded as one of the greatest players in India feels hosting the tournament in Kerala and especially in the Malabar region was a big boost to the football-crazy people there.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"There had been no tournaments here for a long time. Now, AIFF has decided to host a big one here, the Super Cup. The best clubs in India - from the Hero ISL and the Hero I-League participate here," Vijayan told AIFF.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"What makes me happy is that it's being hosted in the Malabar region - in Manjeri and Kozhikode. I expect a good crowd throughout the tournament. For both home teams - Kerala Blasters and Gokulam Kerala - it's a great chance to play some good games and be valuable players for the future." he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Kerala Blasters FC got off to a winning start with their 3-1 win over Hero I-League champions RoundGlass Punjab FC. However, Gokulam Kerala endured a tough evening against reigning Hero ISL champions ATK Mohun Bagan who ran out 5-1 winners.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Vijayan, though, believes the Hero Super Cup<\/strong> will help the I-League sides gain experience by playing against their ISL counterparts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"We all know that Gokulam are a great side. They've beaten some ISL sides in previous tournaments. Calicut is their home, where they enjoy great support," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Gokulam and the Hero I-League teams could use the Super Cup as a good stepping stone to the ISL," he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
