Odisha FC\u2019s women side will continue their pre season plans for the upcoming season, with the Indian Women\u2019s League 2025-26 season set to begin in September. He also hopes with more and more clubs being forced to suspend their operations, a solution for the future will be taken more efficiently.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe haven't shut down the club despite the headlines. Key staff members are retained, our women's team will be operational. However, it becomes harder to justify to my stakeholders to sink Crs upon Crs with nothing to show for it, and no end in sight.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe have -No Clarity when the League will Start - Nowhere to practice\/play\/work in Odisha - No way to get sponsorship since there's no season - No way to engage investors with an expiring participation agreement We hoped something would give, but sadly it hasn't<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe didn't go into this offseason planning to take this step. In fact we had made 5 signings until it became clear things are delayed We desperately hope the above issues get resolved; maybe doing this will prompt people to fast-track solutions so we can get back to work,\u201d read the thread by Sharma on \u2018X\u2019<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In a letter to the participant clubs, a copy of which is with IANS, FSDL informed that it is forced to put ISL 2025-26 on hold because it is \"unable to effectively plan, organise, or commercialise the 2025\u201326 ISL season\" because no agreement has been reached regarding the Master Rights Agreement (MRA), which was to expire on December 8, 2025, with the AIFF.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

As per the agreement, the AIFF had given IMG Reliance the rights to exploit the sports commercial value to improve, popularise and promote the game of football throughout India, from the grassroots to the professional level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
