Thirteen of the 14 Indian Super League (ISL) clubs have informed the All India Football Federation (AIFF) they are willing to participate in the delayed 2025-26 season, but only if specific conditions are met. These include the waiver of participation fees and the AIFF taking full financial responsibility for organizational and operational costs. The clubs also requested a clear, time-bound roadmap for the league's long-term commercial and governance structure, citing the National Sports Governance Act, 2025. This response comes after the AIFF's ultimatum for clubs to confirm participation within 24 hours.
