Thirteen Indian Super League (ISL) clubs have informed the All India Football Federation (AIFF) that they may participate in the delayed 2025-26 season if participation fees are waived and the AIFF covers operational costs. The clubs also requested a clear, time-bound roadmap for commercialization, revenue sharing, and governance. They urged the AIFF to seek government support for sustainability, stating their confirmation is contingent on receiving these assurances.
