LAST NIGHT, an already controversy-ridden season of Calcutta Football League reached a boiling point when controversial refereeing decisions led to fans disrupting the game between Mohun Bagan and Tollygunge Agragami, creating a situation where the match commissioner had to abandon the match with merely two minutes of play still remaining.
IN MAY, the proposal to merge the leagues (or "re-structure" them) was presented by IMG-Reliance and AIFF to the Indian football stakeholders in Delhi.
ON SUNIL CHHETRI'S birthday, TFG takes a look at his illustrious football career so far; one that took him around the world before establishing himself as an Indian football legend.
TFG is in conversation with Mumbai FC Deputy Vice President Atul Badgamia who shares what made him write a direct letter to AFC and FIFA.
MANY I-LEAGUE CLUBS have not responded favourably to the apparent gesture from AIFF to seek out a middle ground between IMG-Reliance and the football clubs by forming a working committee to address the merger.
IN A MASSIVE U-turn from his previously held position, former India captain Bhaichung Bhutia has spoken out in favour of including East Bengal and Mohun Bagan in the Indian Super League once its is made the top division league of Indian football next year.
THE ALL INDIA FOOTBALL FEDERATION has proposed the formation of a working committee, with representatives from all Indian football stakeholders as well as AFC and FIFA, to facilitate an exchange of ideas and address the merging of I-League and ISL, and the establishment of a new league pyramid.
