The All India Football Federation (AIFF) is reportedly considering bearing some costs, including refereeing and broadcasting, to facilitate the delayed 2025-26 Indian Super League (ISL) season. The AIFF Emergency Committee accepted recommendations to announce ISL dates next week, potentially starting February 15. Clubs have until January 15 to agree to a 20-year deal, with non-participants facing relegation. A new RFP will seek a commercial partner, and clubs have until June to pay a Rs 1 crore participation fee.
