Asian Football Confederation for one Indian league
Asian Football Confederation General Secretary Dato\' Windsor made it clear that the simultaneous running of the Indian Super League and I-League this season was just a stop-gap arrangement and the two will be merged together.
Kolkata: Asian Football Confederation General Secretary Dato' Windsor made it clear that the simultaneous running of the Indian Super League and I-League this season was just a stop-gap arrangement and the two will be merged together.
The merger will give a big boost to Mohun Bagan and East Bengal's hopes to play in the ISL. "It's not a question of what we are favouring or not. It's in the AFC Constitution that one country should have one league. We just gave provision (for two leagues) for a transition period. That's all," Windsor told reporters at the Saltlake Stadium on the sidelines of the England-Brazil FIFA Under-17 World Cup semifinal in Kolkata.
"There will be one league for sure. For the time being, because of the situation we had to do it (have two leagues this season)," he said. The ISL and I-League will run simultaneously this season as the All India Football Federation failed to resolve Mohun Bagan and East Bengal’s refusal to give franchise fee required to be in the ISL. Windsor further spoke highly of Mohun Bagan and East Bengal's contribution to keep India's football alive.
