ISL fails to secure a single bid, AIFF to ‘deliberate on future course of action’

The All India Football Federation suffered a setback after the Indian Super League (ISL) tender process failed to secure even a single bid.

«The deadline for submission of bids in response to the Request for Proposal (RFP) for award of commercial monetization rights for the Indian Super League (ISL) has ended today. No bids have been received within the stipulated time frame,» the AIFF said in a statement.

The tender was launched on October 16, 2025 to find a new commercial partner for the ISL’s broadcast, sponsorship, digital and merchandising rights.

“The AIFF Bid Evaluation Committee will meet this weekend to assess the situation and deliberate on the future course of action,” Indian football’s governing body added in its statement.
