    Indian Football: ISL gets recognition from AFC and FIFA
    Two new ISL franchises are expected to be announced before the India versus Kyrgyzstan game on Tuesday...The Indian Super League (ISL) have got a shot in the arm as the winner of the competition would now get an opportunity to compete in the AFC competition,Goal can confirm.Following the All India Football Federation’s (AIFF) Executive Committee Meeting on Thursdayin Mumbai where its President Praful Patel battedfor the ISL and the I-League to be run simultaneously, it was also decided that an AFC Cup play-off would now be allocated to the winner of the ISL as opposed to the Federation Cup.This means that the ISL is no more a private tournament but a recognised league under the aegis of the All India Football Federation (AIFF), AFC and FIFA.The AIFF and their commercial and marketing partners, namely IMG-Reliance met AFC General Secretary Dato Windsor and Alex Philips, Head of AFC- UEFA Affairs at UEFA on May 8 in Bahrain where it was decided that the ISL winner would get a chance to ply their trade in the AFC Cup play-off spot as Goal had revealed.Meanwhile, the I-League would continue to see its winner participate in the Asian Champions League (ACL) play-off.

    People ridiculed me when I posted this last night. Now I again reiterate my question about BFC. Which league will they play?

    The issue is for 1 season. Next season Bengaluru FC isn't eligible for ACL.

    People at Goal.com are at fire tonight. After breaking news of ISL's AFC Cup slot and Khaled Jamil joining East Bengal, they are now reporting that EB and MB will play in I-League

    of course EB and MB will play in IL. There is no doubt about it. These clubs are born to play in the top division, no matter what the name is.  <3
