ISL Clubs Urged to Form Consortium Amidst Indian Football Crisis

• ISL clubs asked to submit a proposal for a consortium to manage the league, specifically for the 2025-26 season.
• The proposal will be discussed at the upcoming AIFF Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Saturday, following a virtual meeting with the sports ministry.
• Clubs must submit their consortium proposal by Friday evening, as the AIFF's Marketing Rights Agreement with FSDL ended on December 8.
• The Indian Women's League (IWL) will proceed without a sponsor from December 20, after an agreement with Capri Sports failed.
• AIFF states constitutional amendments require a newly formed General Body, and the National Sports Grievance Act may also bring changes.
