In a major relief for Indian football fans, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) President, Kalyan Chaubey, has officially confirmed that the Indian Super League (ISL) will take place as scheduled. This announcement puts an end to the growing uncertainty that surrounded the nation’s top-tier football league.
For weeks, the Indian football community has been rife with speculation about the future of the upcoming ISL 2025 season. However, in a recent statement, Chaubey provided the much-needed assurance that fans were waiting for. “As AIFF President, I assure you that the league will take place,” he declared, bringing a wave of relief to everyone associated with the sport.
The AIFF President acknowledged the logistical hurdles in organizing the league. He pointed out that scheduling remains a significant challenge, especially with the need to accommodate international calendars and FIFA windows for home and away matches. Despite these difficulties, Chaubey emphasized the federation’s commitment to ensuring the league’s continuity.
Highlighting the broader impact, the AIFF President stressed that the league’s cancellation would affect not just the players but also the thousands of individuals whose livelihoods depend on the ISL. He reiterated that the AIFF is dedicated to investing its full effort to ensure the smooth execution of the league.
This confirmation is a massive development for Indian Football. The ISL plays a crucial role in the country’s sporting landscape, and its absence would have created a significant void. With the President’s assurance, fans can now eagerly anticipate the action-packed season ahead. The focus now shifts to the finalization of the schedule, a task the AIFF is actively pursuing to deliver another successful season of the Indian Super League.
