Resolve isl

The Sesa Football Academy: Former India head coach Armando Agnelo Colaco believes the need of the hour for Indian football is to resume the Indian Super League and also believes the introduction of promotion and relegation will further incentivise teams to improve their overall game.

The 2025/26 ISL season was put on hold with the AIFF and FSDL coming to a standstill in regards to their Masters Right Agreement (MRA). The Supreme Court has now directed the football governing body to bring a new commercial partner on board, while the Super Cup will now kick the season off in October.

"We need to quickly resolve the issue surrounding the ISL so that our club football, which is the feeder for the national team, gets back on track. We also need to ensure more game time for the players and to have a dedicated roadmap for both the men’s and women’s team to progress through the international rankings.
