The All India Football Federation: Churchill Brothers' I-League 2024-25 presentation ceremony was concluded in Goa on Sunday even after the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) ordered the All India Football Federation (AIFF) not to declare the winner of the I-League or organise a medal ceremony until the present arbitration is concluded.

According to a statement by the AIFF, the federation learnt of CAS' decision only after the ceremony due to it being a holiday in the AIFF Secretariat.

During the event, the champions’ trophy and winners’ medals were formally presented to Churchill Brothers FC Goa, as per Appeals Committee order and representation made by AIFF to Delhi High Court on April 23.
