AIFF asks clubs to confirm participation in delayed ISL

ONE-DAY DEADLINE?
-
The All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Wednesday asked the clubs to confirm their participation in the delayed season of the Indian Super League (ISL) and the proposed format within a day so that it can inform the continental body the exact number of matches to be played in the competition.
With the ISL 2025-26 yet to start, it is certain that the clubs will not be able to play the mandatory 24 matches in the season — including top division league and domestic cup — to be eligible to feature in the AFC Champions League 2. In that regard, the ISL clubs had urged the AIFF to request the Asian Football Confederation for a onetime relaxation in the minimum requirement of 24 matches so that they can play in the ACL 2.
The representatives of the clubs and a committee formed by the AIFF have had five meetings since December 24 on how to hold the 2025-26 ISL season.
