The Super Cup champion Odisha FC is all set to embark on its fifth season in the highly anticipated Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24.
The club has undergone several changes since last season, including the appointment of ISL-winning coach Sergio Lobera, who won the title with Mumbai City FC and the Super Cup with FC Goa.
As the ISL marks its milestone 10th season, the league welcomes Punjab FC as its 12th club, the first I-League side to make it to the league through the promotion model. OFC qualified for the playoffs for the first time and finished sixth in the table.
The Juggernauts will compete against 11 other clubs in the ISL this season, including the newly entrant Punjab FC.
The group stage matches will be played on a home-and-away basis, with the season kicking off on September 21 with Kerala Blasters hosting Bengaluru FC. Odisha FC will play its first home game on September 23 against Chennaiyin FC at the Kalinga Stadium.
