In the recent days, the AIFF president Praful Patel in his meeting with the I-League clubs as well as in several recent interviews has broadly taken the same line as was suggested in the above-mentioned report.
Needless to mention that this is precisely the reason that a two-three-year window is required to resolve all contentious issues amicably with all stakeholders.
The question of Indian Super League not remaining a closed league permanently has been clarified amply enough by the AIFF President, and promotion and relegation eventually would lead to the development of club football in India.
The AIFF is committed to engaging with AFC and FIFA as well as all other stakeholders for finding an early resolution to these issues.
