Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya announced on Tuesday that the Indian Super League (ISL) will resume on February 14, following a prolonged pause caused by the lack of a commercial partnership.
The league, which traditionally starts in September, faced opposition over its financial model from clubs like Mohun Bagan and East Bengal. The I-League will return simultaneously.
A Rs 25 crore fund has been set up to facilitate the ISL, with contributions from the AIFF compensating for a missing commercial partner, while efforts continue to secure financial backing.
