The 2022 FAO Super Cup was the second edition of the FAO Super Cup, the main club knockout football competition of Odisha, India. The competition ran from 11 to 18 September 2022.[1] The entire tournament took place at one venue i.e. the CRRI Ground in Cuttack.[2] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in India, the Super Cup had not been organised since 2018, and hence this edition was only the second edition of the Super Cup, after its inaugural 2018 edition. Rising Star Club became the champions, winning their first title after defeating Bidanasi Club in the final on penalties.
