Indian Super League (ISL) clubs are seeking an exemption from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) regarding the minimum 24-match requirement for continental tournament eligibility. The current season's truncated format means clubs may fall short, potentially disqualifying teams like FC Goa from AFC Champions League Two. The All India Football Federation (AIFF) is awaiting the AFC's response, with discussions also ongoing about potential new ISL formats, possibly at centralized venues.
