No I-League expansion franchise bid meets required standards, bidding process opened again!

The I-League bid evaluation committee meeting took place today, August 18, at the AIFF Headquarters in Football House, New Delhi. The meeting was attended by the members of the Committee and was chaired by AIFF Vice President Subrata Dutta.

Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) were also present to give their report regarding the evaluation of the bids. Documents related to three bids from three different organizations were placed in front of the committee viz Gokulam FC (Kerala), Ozone Group (Bengaluru) and Crown Sports (Rajasthan).

It was informed to the house by the representatives of PwC that none of the bidders could meet the requirements of the RFP. Hence, the Committee decided to call a retender for inclusion of corporate teams in the ensuing 2017/18 I-League season.

Ten working days will be given to the bidders to submit their bids. The next meeting of the bid evaluation committee to evaluate the fresh bids would take place in the second week on September 2017.
