All India Football Federation: International soccer players' union FIFPRO Asia/Oceania expressed deep concern over "escalating uncertainty" in Indian professional football and called for a "swift resolution".

India's top-tier Indian Super League (ISL) is currently suspended with no start date given due to the stalling over the Masters Right Agreement with the FSDL which has forced a few clubs to suspend their footballing operations. This led ISL clubs to suspend their first-team operations for an indefinite period.

"The lack of clarity for players over the 2025/26 Indian Super League (ISL) season, arising from a dispute over the league’s organisation and governance that has led to its indefinite suspension, is having a significant impact on their livelihoods, careers, and wellbeing.
