The Supreme Court of India reserved his opinion on the Constitution of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Thursday, and added that it will make the final judgment on 1 September.
The AIFF constitution case has been in the APEX court since 2017, when the court led the formulation of a new constitution, one that was submitted in 2023 by former SC -judge Justice L. Naegeswara Rao. But since then there has been a final decision on the Constitution.
On Thursday, the court also listened to the joint proposal of the AIFF and Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) about the future of the Master Rights Agreement (MRA) – something that it had directed in the earlier hearing of the case on August 22.
What have the FSDL and AIFF suggested?
«After extensive discussions, the following resolutions were unanimously agreed and jointly registered,» was the joint proposal.
«To guarantee the timely start of the football calendar and to maintain the competition continuity, it agrees that the 2025-26 season can start with the Super Cup or another domestic competition, directly under the control of AIFF after an adequate period before the season.»
The AIFF had previously said that the Super Cup will start in September, something that the two parties also corresponded.
Secondly, the AIFF agreed that ‘it will carry out an open, competitive and transparent tender or equivalent process for the selection of a commercial partner to bring the ISL into line with the Global Best Practices’ by 15 October.
«Such a process will be carried out in accordance with the National Sports Development Code 2011, the National Sports Governance ACT 2025, the AIFF constitution and the applicable FIFA and Asian Football Confederation regulations.»
«Subject to the permission of the AFC, the new competition season can then start in December 2025.»
What is the position of FSDL compared to the proposal?
According to the letter, signed by both parties, FSDL has agreed to abandon its contractual right of first negotiations and the right to match under the Master Lights Agreement of 8 December 2010, and to issue a NO Objection certificate to AIFF to carry out an open, competitive and transparent tender or equivalent process.
It also confirmed that it will not object to the exercise of rights with regard to the ISL by a new rights holder, if present, during the content of the MRA.
The FSDL said to the monetary end that «The Three -monthly Rights of Inr 12.5 Crores of July dismissed under the MRA on 18 August and agreed to promote the final tranche of the rights of the rights of 12.5 crores of 12.5 crores, October to December, if necessary by AIFF.»
The court will give his last judgment on Monday.
