The Indian Super League (ISL) is set to begin on February 14, with clubs facing financial challenges. Several teams are reportedly considering wage cuts and cost-saving measures, such as sharing venues, due to reduced central revenue and sponsorship income. This has led to discussions with players, with some clubs, like FC Goa, facing difficulties in reaching agreements. Despite financial pressures, 12 out of 13 ISL clubs have confirmed participation for the upcoming season.
