Overview

• AIFF and FSDL filed a ‘consensual resolution’ proposing an open, independently overseen tender for ISL commercial rights to be completed by October 15.
• FSDL agreed to waive its Right of First Negotiation and Right to Match, issue a No Objection Certificate, confirm the July–September rights fee payment, and advance the final tranche if needed.
• The submission proposes a December start for the league, subject to AFC consent, with the season kept active through an AIFF-run Super Cup in the interim.
• The Supreme Court took note of the plan, asked parties to consider it, and indicated it could issue orders on Monday alongside the long-pending AIFF constitution case.
• A recent joint letter from FIFA and the AFC set an October 30 deadline for a court-backed, statute‑compliant AIFF constitution or referral to decision-makers, warning of potential suspension and citing player contract terminations and calendar disruption.
