Wtf is this. Last line says that isl second division would be compiled of isl reserve team which means ideally there would not be any promotion-demotion. Wtf is AIFF up to. If they want to kill indian football just say it loud and clear so that we stop worrying. And who the fu* is fsdl to decide everything about our football. We should together write open letter to FIFA about everything going on in indian fofootball and get our signatures from the common worrying fans. Otherwise FIFA is too lackadelackad to notice anything
As per bengali media no EB, MB in next ISL Delhi and Pune to play from other states. Hyderabad, Orissa or Ahmadabad. Delhi probably will play half of their matches in JLN and half in Orissa. Season will start with super cup in September 2nd week. This year's league standings will be used again for team selection for final round. Then after October 1st week some gap, then IL and ISL
Delhi's owner himself denied them moving to any other cities . They are talks to use the Delhi University rugby stadium which was renovated for the U-17 world cup .
Delhi Dynamos set to adopt Bhubaneswar as new home
Indian Super League team Delhi Dynamos is set to leave the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (JNS) in favour of a new home.
TOI can reveal that the team is in advanced talks to make the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar -which hosted the two ediions of the Hero Super Cup - as their home stadium beginning from the 2019-20 season. ............................................................................................................................................................................................
Though Delhi will definitely play in Bhubaneswar next season, they are still mulling whether to play all their home games there. They have the option of playing half of their home games at the JLN Stadium.
The All India Football Federation (AIFF) is having a second thought about the much-awaited meeting between its President Praful Patel and the I-League clubs, which won't happen before the AIFF takes stock of the situation on its own about the future roadmap of Indian domestic football.
Earlier, AIFF officials had repeatedly said that Patel was reluctant to meet the I-League clubs since they refused to play the Super Cup in Bhubaneswar despite assurances from the federation President.
However, according to sources, senior AIFF officials could now hold a
meeting with its marketing partners later this month to chalk out a
strategy under the current circumstances before Patel could explain the
plan to the I-League clubs. However, no dates for the proposed meeting has been fixed.
The main point of discussion in the meeting, it is believed, will be to
finalise whether to invite new bid documents to induct fresh clubs in
the Indian Super League (ISL)
for the 2019-20 season and officially make the ISL the top league or to
continue with the present arrangement of playing two leagues
simultaneously.
"Given the current situation and the time constraint, the chances of
opening fresh bids for next season's ISL seem unlikely," said a source,
who is in the know of things.
"But the I-League clubs should be told that their interests would be
kept in mind before drawing up the future roadmap," the source added.
The clubs would once again be told that though the I-League could be
reduced to League One in near future, the promotion/relegation system
would return in the next four to five seasons once the contractual
obligations between ISL organisers and the franchises are over.
The reluctance of the ISL organisers to invite fresh bids for new ISL
franchises could be gauged from the fact that neither of the two Kolkata
clubs, Mohun Bagan and East Bengal, seem prepared enough to enter the
ISL next season.
While East Bengal are not convinced about paying the hefty franchise
fee, Mohun Bagan are yet to find suitable sponsors to raise funds. ISL
organisers, however, can induct a team from another city like Hyderabad or Ahmedabad.
The AIFF is aware that the present arrangement of playing two leagues
simultaneously could be continued for maximum one more season as the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) allowed it to happen on a strictly temporary basis.
The Asian body granted the AFC Cup and AFC Champions League spots
for the winners of ISL and I-League, respectively, on the request of
AIFF, but could now start insisting on having one league in the country.
