The Indian Super League (ISL), the country’s top football league, is facing a major crisis after a tender for its commercial rights failed to attract any bids. The process was managed by the All India Football Federation (AIFF).
Initially, four parties, including FSDL, FanCode, Consient Heritage Group, and a foreign consortium, had expressed interest. However, no official bids were submitted by the deadline on November 7. According to reports, the financial conditions and risk structure proposed by the AIFF were seen as unfeasible by the interested companies.
The main issue was reportedly a clause that demanded a mandatory payment of ₹37.5 crore annually or 5% of the gross revenue for a 15-year period. This failure to secure a commercial partner has created significant financial uncertainty for the ISL and raised concerns about the future of Indian football.
