Woodall said the syndicate had recently been awarded a licence for a
franchise in the fledgling Indian Super League and was building a
100,000-seat stadium - where the Coast's A-League side could play
exhibition matches - but he added that was still a long way off.
From that article- License already given for ISL franchise and building 1 lakh seater stadium also.
so what is the number of total number of teams? present 8 ISL + Big 3 + supposedly Gujarat and Hyderabad ? if they add one more , its 14 so cant rule out this rumor entirely
I checked one document on AFC site ,some thing like entry manual for Afc club competitions 2017-2020 as per this "Minimum number of matches per
team in national top division
(including league, cup
tournament, and grand final if
applicable) is 27"
so there has to be minimum 22 matches excluding super / federation cup (assuming there would be like 32 teams from all tiers)
This Entry Manual for AFC club competitions 2017-2020 (Entry Manual) governs
entry into the AFC Champions League (ACL) and AFC Cup (ACC) (collectively, AFC
Club Competitions) for the 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 sporting seasons....

I believe BFC would be allowed in the league and EB,MB would be shown the back door
Also Transtadia is half completed and will be completed in another 6 months
Everything will be clear once I-League is over
