The 2022 U-17 Women's World Cup is slated to kick off on October 11, with hosts India involved in the second game of the opening matchday at Bhubhaneswar.
After
the group stage concludes on October 18, the quarter-finals take place
on October 21 and 22 with double header fixtures, followed by both the
semi-final ties on October 26 and the final on October 30 - soon after the third-place winner would be decided.
Sorry but can someone tell me why ISL fixture is scheduled today when we have an important tournament going on for first time in India and that too we have our Indian women playing in a world cup? Looks like we are not giving much importance to a world cup event happening in India
A potential pain point is that the season clashes with not just one, but two World Cups.
First, the U17 Women's World Cup that India is hosting from October 11 - October 30. India's group stages clash with Jamshedpur vs Odisha (Oct 11) and Chennaiyin vs Bengaluru (Oct 14). India's third group stage match is on Monday, so there's no ISL match on that day. The final of the tournament (Oct 30) will meanwhile clash with Jamshedpur vs NorthEast United.
The ISL also clashes with the senior men's World Cup which is being held in Qatar from November 20 to December 18. For instance, FC Goa plays ATK Mohun Bagan on the same day as the WC opener.
While there are no matches scheduled for the day of the World Cup final (Dec 18), there will be plenty of points during the group stages and the knockouts where a viewer will have to choose between watching the ISL and the World Cup.

No break for the World Cup

Nothing is more important to FSDL--the lords and masters of Indian football now--than the ISL, it seems!!
