Prominent Indian footballers, including Sunil Chhetri and Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, have issued a joint video appeal to FIFA for urgent intervention to rescue Indian football from administrative paralysis. The Indian Super League's 2025-26 season remains stalled due to the All India Football Federation's failure to secure a commercial partner. Players describe the situation as a humanitarian, sporting, and economic crisis, with livelihoods at stake.
FIFA has decided to contact the All India Football Federation regarding delays in resolving a transfer dispute involving defender Anwar Ali and Mohun Bagan. The Kolkata club escalated the issue after nearly 16 months of procedural stagnation. The global body acknowledged Mohun Bagan's complaint and plans to examine the matter.
