Indian Football Crisis: ISL Clubs Form Consortium Proposal, IWL Kicks Off Without Sponsor

• ISL clubs asked to submit a proposal for forming a consortium to run the league by Friday evening.
• The proposal will be discussed at the AIFF Annual General Meeting (AGM) on December 20.
• The Marketing Rights Agreement (MRA) between AIFF and FSDL ended on December 8, leaving ISL without a commercial framework.
• The Indian Women’s League (IWL), starting December 20, will be held without a sponsor.
• AIFF and Capri Sports failed to reach an agreement for IWL's commercial rights.

Why It Matters: Indian football faces significant commercial and structural challenges with ISL and IWL issues.
