Bhaichung Bhutia Points Out AIFF’s Lack Of Clarity In MRA Negotiations

By IANS News June 20, 2025 • 19:34 PM View: 437

All India Football Federation: Former India captain Bhaichung Bhutia spoke regarding the future of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2025 after the future of the league remains in the air due to the Master Rights Agreement, which expires in December.

On Thursday, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) released its 2025-26 competition calendar with no mention of the country’s premier football league. This omission has raised eyebrows across the Indian football ecosystem, with clubs, players, and fans left speculating about what comes next.

An AIFF source, speaking to IANS, confirmed that the ISL has not been included in the federation’s calendar because its organisers, Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL), have yet to provide a schedule.
