“Clubs are important stakeholders and have contributed hugely in improving infrastructure and even players’ salaries,” AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey told HT on Tuesday. “AIFF welcomes their proposal for a meeting. We will be writing soon to them about this.”

Chaubey's response came after ISL clubs wrote to him saying “now, more than ever, construct-

ive dialogue between the AIFF and the participating clubs is critical” given the uncertainty over ISL’s future. Reigning ISL double winners Mohun Bagan Super Giant, East Bengal, Mohammedan Sporting, Mumbai City FC and Chennaiyin FC were not signatories to the letter sent on Tuesday.
