FC Goa as defending champions but they have a tough group with Jamshedpur and Northeast United. Hope to see some exciting young Indian talent get playing time in this tournament.

The fixture list is quite packed - 24 matches in just 13 days! Hope the players can handle this intensity. Would have preferred more spacing between matches for better recovery.
