The ISL group stage winners will be incorporated into the ACL, but as of
now, ESPN understands they are only assured of a playoff slot, though
India's performance and rankings in 2020 could help convert that into a
group stage entry.
Why are you hell bent on bringing back ONGC and Air India as if they were champion teams ? One of the reasons on why we are still a tier 3 team in Asia is our federations lack of professionalism . And then there are people who whine when they show a bit of it .
I don't think we deserve to be in ACL tbh . Our teams should dominate the AFC cup for a few years before we make the jump to ACL.
Yep and tbh teams in Asia cup are all teams mostly filled with domestic quota players and are not necessarily looking to sign players from other countries.
If we ever get a chance of direct entry to ACL, though our teams under-perform it gives a chance for few individuals to get noticed and move to better Asian leagues at least.

I like to think FSDL will use that for promotion. Which I-League failed to do(except Sunil and GSS)
