The Super Cup is a knockout tournament hosted by the AIFF where I-League teams lock horns against the Indian Super League teams. It is India's main club knockout tournament and Minerva were scheduled to play the qualifying round against FC Pune City on Friday.

The club said it will “now wait for a response from the AIFF” before making the next move.

Minerva Punjab FC finished 10th in the I-League standings with 17 points from 19 games, though they are scheduled to play a rematch against third-placed Real Kashmir, the date of which is yet to be finalised, after refusing to travel to Srinagar for not getting security assurances in writing in the wake of the Pulwama terror attack.
