The 2022/23 I-League is set to kick off on Saturday, October 29, 2022.
The League Committee, after long deliberations, recommended to increase the number of foreigners to 5+1 (5 foreigners from anywhere in the world, and one from Asia) in the squad on the match day. However, out of these, a total of four foreigners should be allowed in the playing eleven at any given point of time on a 3+1 basis. While a foreigner on the pitch can be substituted by another foreign player at the bench or by an Indian player, a foreigner of an Asian quota can be replaced by another foreigner of an Asian quota or by an Indian.
It was also recommended that two teams will be relegated from the I-League to the Second Division League.
Kenkre FC has appealed to the AIFF for retention in the I-League, which the Committee has sympathetically agreed to; the recommendation for the same has been forwarded to the Executive Committee.
