NEW DELHI: (Nov 11) India’s distressed football players issued a joint statement on Tuesday pleading with the administrators to get the currently paused Indian Super League season underway, saying that their “anger and frustration” has turned into desperation now.
The plea came after the All India Football Federation last week said it did not receive any bids for the commercial rights of the ISL after the Request for Proposal (RFP) on October 16, inviting bids for a 15-year contract to monetise the League’s commercial and media rights.
“Where we are right now is not a delay anymore, it’s a standstill for the coaches, fans, staff members, and players. We have worked too hard, sacrificed too much to let our season vanish in silence,” said star defender Sandesh Jhingan in a video posted on his social media handles.
