The crisis in Indian football reached the doorsteps of Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya after a meeting between the national federation and CEOs of the Indian Super League (ISL) clubs failed to end the deadlock that has brought the domestic circuit to a halt.
I-League clubs were also invited for the meeting, held in hybrid mode, but they skipped it, citing the short notice at which it was called. The clubs’ representatives will meet Mandaviya on Thursday morning to try and figure a way out.
“The Sports minister is meeting representatives of both I-League and ISL tomorrow to discuss the ongoing deadlock,” a ministry source said.
I-League club representatives sent a letter to All India Football Federation (AIFF) general secretary M Satyanarayan demanding a “common league partner” for all the divisions
including ISL, I-League (Tier 1 and 2).
