The Ministry of Sports called a high-level meeting on December 3, 2025, to address the crisis in Indian football. The meeting included representatives from the Indian Super League (ISL), I-League clubs, commercial partners, and broadcasters. However, no clear solutions emerged, leaving the future of the ISL uncertain.
The crisis stemmed from issues related to the former commercial partner, Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL), which temporarily suspended the league due to contract disputes. The Ministry aimed to find ways to resolve these challenges and restore stability to Indian football.
