Nothing has changed in the deadlock surrounding #IndianFootball. The only difference now is that more people are finally seeing the reality, AIFF neither has the money nor the capability to run football on its own.

Without an external commercial partner, no ISL model, short-term or long-term, proposed by AIFF will work. There are now more meetings than actual football matches, while a daily dose of false hope is misleading fans.

Indian football doesn’t just need a reset; AIFF needs a bloody hard reset first.

[Ashish Negi @7negiashish]

AIFF’s new ISL proposal is similar to what FSDL had offered earlier in some respects, except for broadcast production, operational details and promotion & relegation.

But the reality hasn’t changed. This model will only work if ISL generates at least ₹150–200 cr in central broadcast & sponsorship revenue; anything below that, and it will bust.

To demand that kind of money from broadcasters, a ₹70 cr operational budget (covering broadcast, production, marketing, etc.) looks too low.

In recent ISL seasons, the league spent ~₹70 cr per season on broadcast, production and signal transmission alone. Under this new model, that figure effectively drops to ₹23.8 cr.

On top of that, the model still needs a commercial partner to fund 30% (₹21 cr) of league operations, something AIFF failed to secure in the last tender.

Justice Rao and KPMG recommendations also remain unimplemented.

So the question is simple: why would a partner come now?

This model still needs serious fine-tuning before it becomes sellable, though AIFF moving from upfront fees to revenue sharing is at least a step closer to reality.

Indian Football is at a crossroads and the warning signs are louder than ever.

• Losing to lower-ranked teams we should be beating
• Missing consecutive AFC Asian Cup qualifications
• Winless and last in the 2027 qualifiers
• No clear structure for ISL, I-League, IL2 & IL3
• No roadmap for the IWL or women’s football
• Youth leagues unstable, with clubs halting operations
• Fans left confused, frustrated, and unheard

Is this really the path to Vision 2047?
Or a system slowly collapsing from within? 🇮🇳

Five games, three losses, two coaches, and zero wins. That’s India’s report card in the AFC Asian Cup 2027 final round qualifiers, and the ‘South Asian giants’ are supposed to be the highest ranked side in the group.

Indian football deserves better.

Ryan Williams watched that horrible first half from the stands. He should call Football Australia to cancel the NOC they issued earlier today.

And honestly, I have no idea how these players are considered the best #IndianFootball players available in the country. #BANIND

Who will save Indian Football? ⚽

[Aswathy Santhosh @_Aswathy_S]

120 days to the AFC Women’s Asian Cup and India’s roadmap is still unclear.

The Blue Tigresses made history qualifying on merit, but poor planning now threatens their momentum.

Time is running out. ⏳

As promised, here is the full report and I am deliberately keeping it open for full access as I believe that if more of our players can go abroad, it can only benefit #IndianFootball in the long run 🇮🇳

No proper leagues or structure across age groups. #IWL exists just to tick a box, not bcoz anyone actually cares. But the women have quietly qualified for every #AsianCup.
Overhyped, overpaid men? Lobby busy rehearsing excuses. Reality stings, truth too.#IndianFootball

[Utkarsh Mishra @SmartGamerRaj1]
