    Is it true this "The All India Football Federation (AIFF) have
    confirmed that Air India and ONGC FC are officially out from next
    season's I-League upon non-fulfillment of FIFA and AFC's Club Licencing
    Criteria..."

    Seems like unofficial news. Times of India are reporting it but reading what they wrote it seems that they are only taking an educated guess.

    So, at least for me, I would take this news lightly for now. Obviously the chances of Air India and ONGC being in the 2013-14 I-League are slim but the chance is still there.

    It is quotes like this: "stated that the beautiful game has the potential to overtake cricket in India in the years to come" that make me hate the AIFF.

    We shall never overtake cricket, end of story.

    Most of the AIFF officials have said on-camera that AI & ONGC won't be taking part in next seasons I-league. That iss some confirmation.

    AIFF has Confirmed Air India & ONGC's exit from the next edition of the I-League by not inviting them for an important club licensing seminar in GOA on Thursday.

    Air India & ONGC are the only two clubs in the I-League which have failed to meet the Strict Club Licensing Criteria. Both government entities have ticked a majority of the criteria boxes,but the all-important one of registering the team as a separate entity has not been fulfilled.
    "The Clubs needed some clarifications so we decided a workshop would be the best option.There will be discussions on the timeline & how soon we can complete the formalities",sa­id I-League CEO Sunando Dhar.

    The workshop in Goa is for clubs from the western region, notably mumbai & Goa, But interestingly Air India & ONGC are not among the invitees.

    Meanwhile a separate workshop will be held in Kolkata on Friday.
