Intercontinental Cup (India)
International football tournament
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Intercontinental Cup is a four-nation football tournament organised by the All India Football Federation (AIFF). It was launched as a replacement for the Nehru Cup, with the first edition held as the 2018 Intercontinental Cup (India).[1] Naming rights of the tournament were purchased by the Hero MotoCorp, which also sponsored the national team at that time.[2] On 7 January 2023, the AIFF confirmed that the Intercontinental Cup would become an annual competition as part of their "Vision 2047" initiative.[3] The first edition was won by India, while the next edition held in 2019 was won by North Korea.[4][5][6]
