The plan is to make room for senior footballers only in premier and
first divisions. The rest of the league, from Division Two to Five will
be open to age group footballers.
Where will senior footballers go then ? nowhere in the world this happens. Age group league should be separate. Why to reduce playing opportunities for senior players ? Who will sponsor junior teams ?
IFA mulling the idea of starting the new football season from the third week of August
The Indian Football Association (IFA) is planning to start the upcoming football season from the third week of August. The new football season will begin with the different leagues across divisions followed by the IFA Shield. The IFA secretary Joydeep Mukherjee on Friday summoned a few former footballers like Subrata Bhattacharya, Bhaskar Ganguly, Mihir Basu, Prashanta Banerjee, Aloke Mukherjee ans Shishir Ghosh to seek their opinions before starting the new football season. The idea is to see football back in the maidan. ............................................................................................................................................................................................
IFA is also mulling the idea of having the league matches without any foreigners as no one knows whether the Government of India will allow foreign footballers to come and play in the league. If a situation does arise where the foreigners are not given permission to come and play then IFA will go ahead with the league without the foreign players. The objective will be to give more opportunities to local talents wherein they can earn a living as well.
Zee Bangla informed IFA that they are keen to host the Season 2 of Zee U18 League in Kolkata in November.
IFA has decided to revive district-level football in Bengal-there would be a franchisee based league tournament to revive district football culture in Bengal
FC Goa’s proposal to revamp Goa Professional League FC Goa already have the title sponsor, who can give ₹15-20 lacs per year to the GFA. They have also proposed to get outstation teams, which will most probably be the reserve teams of clubs from both – Indian Super League and I-League.
If the deal is accepted by the state association, the GPL will be streamed on an OTT app for the first time in history. As per the proposal, a three-camera HD live feed of 78 matches with highlights, graphics, replays and so on will be carried on a popular OTT app. The remaining matches will be covered through a single camera. The stream will also help the clubs to get main sponsors.
