Six of 12 I-League clubs have written to the AIFF citing instances where title contenders Inter Kashi benefitted due to alleged partial refereeing.
Kalinga Super Cup 2025 will be played at the Kalinga Stadium from April 20 to May 3; 16 clubs (13 ISL and 3 I-League) will participate in a single-elimination knock-out format.
In a damning statement, Churchill Brothers owner Churchill Alemao alleged that the I-League was rigged following a controversial draw against Sreenidi Deccan FC in the ongoing I-League 2024-25.
The AIFF has signed a commercial rights agreement for I-League, I-League 2, IWL, Santosh Trophy and Senior Women's NFC with Shrachi Sports for producing and broadcasting matches in the 2024-25 season.
The 18th instalment of the I-League will kick off on November 22 and the 2024-25 season will see 12 teams battle it out for the trophy and promotion to next season’s Indian Super League.
They say madness is doing the same things and expecting different results. It is high time that Indian football thinks differently.
