Overview
- AIFF’s Executive Committee, which met Sunday, asked KPMG to compare the bids and set up club meetings with bidders before sending a recommendation to the federation’s General Body.
- Genius Sports bid about ₹2,129 crore over 20 years for the Indian Super League and the Federation Cup, while FanCode offered roughly ₹1,190 crore for the same properties.
- ISL clubs had urged the federation to avoid a binding call and to hear detailed business plans from both companies because the choice could shape club finances for decades.
- Reporting on the tender says AIFF would take a fixed 20% of the bidder’s payment and most of the net share would flow to clubs, which helps explain why some teams prefer FanCode’s lower upfront risk.
- Capri Sports was the sole bidder for the top two women’s leagues at about ₹150–160 crore, a move that follows the FSDL deal expiring in December and a delayed, shortened 2025–26 ISL that began in February.
