THERE seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel for Indian football.
At least on paper. The country's premier football league — Indian Super League — is likely to start this December if everything goes off well. The All India Football Federation (AIFF) and its commercial partner Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) have jointly submitted a proposal to the Supreme Court on Thursday, in a bid to resume the 2025-26 ISL season.
According to the proposal, the FSDL is ready to let go of the commercial rights to organise and manage the ISL. However, this doesn't indicate that FSDL will be out of AIFF.
