The Global Professional Footballers Union FIFPRO has called for an early resolution of an administrative crisis that paralyzed India’s domestic football league and some clubs have suspended players’ salaries.
The Sangh said that “growing unwanted” players had “significant influence” on livelihood, career and good.
The 2025-26 Indian Super League (ISL) season was scheduled to begin in September, but the 14-Tim competition was suspended indefinitely in July due to contractual issues between the Football Federation (AIFF) and Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) (FSDL), a 14-team competition was suspended indefinitely, which is a private company, which operates on the day of the league.
The current rights deal between AIFF and FSDL is about to end in December, three months in the new season, but both parties have to agree to expand so far.
Indian Football: Union Slam ‘Violation of Labor Rights’
In July, FSDL said in a letter to all ISL clubs thousands of players and employees in Limbo and in the threat to losing their jobs, “In the absence of a confirmed contractual structure beyond December, we find ourselves effectively planning, organizing, or managing the 2025-26 ISL season.”
Earlier this month, three ISL Club, Odisha FC, Chennai FC and former champion Bangalore FC, Ether, suspended the salary or stopped the football operation until a solution was found.
FIFPRO read the statement of Asia/Oceania on Tuesday, “Thesis acts represents the direct violation of players’ labor rights and creating significant crisis.”
Along with extending the issue with FIFA and Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the governing bodies of football, the Sangh began to confirm the “ISL season schedule” to the AIFF, FSDL and Indian club owners and install a clear roadmap for the season. “
Indian Super League: What is really controversy?
Football Sports Development Limited signed a 15 -year Master Rights Agreement (MRA) with the Indian Football Federation in 2010, which agreed to pay 500 million Indian rupees ($ 5.75 million) through the year in exchange for league broadcasting, management and commercialization rights.
According to ESPN, discussions about a new MRA from December 2025 included changes in ISL’s ownership structure, 60% stake for clubs, 26% for FSDL and 14% for AIFF.
But the Supreme Court of India ordered to hold talks that it gave a final decision in a separate case about a new constitution for AIFF. A decision in that case was expected by bees on Friday.
India: Domestic anarchy affects the national team
Limbo made the domestic game paralyzed and also immersed the Indian national team in anarchy.
The current ISL champion Mohan Bagan refused to release his players for international duty in front of the CAFA Nations Cup starting from this month, accusing Kalyan of “negligence”.
In early July, head coach Manolo Markez left his place with mutual consent after just one win, finished 133rd in the job with less than a year and the team with the team – Nicaragua, Malawi, Rwanda, North Korea and their lowest positions in about a decade below below.
On 1 August, AIFF appointed former midfielder Khalid Jamil (above) as head coach after dismissing the Haux application from former Barcelona head coach Pep Guardiola and Zavi Hernandez.
