• A three-member committee, including Navas Meeran, Caitano Fernandes, and Anirban Datta, was formed to find a resolution.
• The committee will hold discussions with Chennaiyin FC, Mumbai City FC, Delhi Sporting Club, NorthEast United FC, and Mohun Bagan Super Giant from December 22-29.
• The goal is to reach an agreement adhering to the AIFF Constitution, with potential consultation from FIFA and AFC.
