ISL vs. I-League: WHAT IS THE CONFLICT?! 🙄🇮🇳

India has 2 top-level football leagues, but if AIFF wants to avoid the AFC ban, that can't be the case for too long! So what EXACTLY is the problem between the Indian Super League and the I-League? 🙄🇮🇳
New Indian Football fans, this will clear those questions! 👊🏻
I-League: Once the premier, top-division league of India and formerly called the National Football League. This league is organised and run by AIFF and boasts of historic clubs like Mohun Bagan, East Bengal, Dempo and Salgaocar.
ISL: A newly formed league run by FSDL with AIFF, started in 2014 and have been allowed by the AIFF to run the competition for 15 years. Some of the known clubs in the competition are ATK, Kerala Blasters, Chennaiyin FC and Bengaluru FC.
In 2010, IMG-Reliance became the commercial partner of AIFF. According to Kushal Das, when in 2010 the investment came, IMG-R wanted to improve the I-League by getting new sponsors but no one was interested in I-League. The broadcasting done by Zee and Ten Sports was poor and that's when Star Sports came in and agreed that only a new league could create a buzz and revive Indian Football. And so the ISL started in 2014 which was not exactly run like a full-fledged league, rather a league cum knockout cup tournament.
I-League & ISL were being played in separate window till 2017. When the ISL got recognised by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) as a national knockout cup tournament they started playing simultaneously alongside the I-League.
FSDL now wants ISL as the top division. ISL teams have a 10 year contract with them which guarantees the teams that there will be no relegation and if I-League clubs do want to join the ISL, they must pay a franchise fee of 15 crores every season. I-League clubs are not financially sound to be able to afford that kind of money and the clubs that do, are hesitant to invest as all the ISL clubs are already making losses. Multiple ISL club owners like Parth Jinal of Bengaluru FC and Rohan Sharma of Delhi Dynamos have publicly stated they would love a unified league but could we see a merger on the cards?
The AFC obviously refused to accept two leagues with the top tier status stating that if India don’t have a merger league by the end of 2019, it could result into an Asian ban for Indian clubs. So Indian football clubs could lose its spot in the AFC Cup or the AFC Champions League, if they qualify.
With the deadline APPARENTLY being this season, the conclusion hopefully should be right around the corner. Both ISL and I-League clubs have done a lot to help the game. FSDL brings a whole lot to the game and without them football will never become a big game in this country. Marketing is a huge aspect of any business, and football is a business too. As for the I-League clubs, they have been treated like dirt so far, but we hope for a resolution that sees them and ISL clubs play together in the Indian Super League.

Well honestly. .. I got into touch with the Indian football via ISL... although I feel bad for the I league clubs ...we need to acknowledge the fact that ISL brought in more viewers and widespread the reach of Indian football. .. being a "INDIAN" football fan what i want ultimately is a one single league which wud benefit each and every single individual! How about solving this dilemma by giving the 15 cr investing clubs the advantage of buying 7 foreign players while the one who cant contribute in the amount would have a slot for 2 foreign players... so this would eventually help in the upbringing of local players and sort out the monetary imbalance?

[@Haomin8]

FSDL have promoted football in a huge way in 🇮🇳, no doubt. But the fact that they’re trying to make the ISL the Prem of India, is just not acceptable. One has to look at the history and prestige of the I-League. We’ve lost the Durand Cup, Fed Cup and on the verge of losing the Santosh Trophy too. We cannot lose the name of the I-League. But on the other hand, the stand of the ISL franchises is also very understandable. They’ve paid huge sums of money for the past 5 years but I feel, they need to let it go if they want to develop the game in the country.

First of all, very informative introductory video to anyone new to Indian football! 👍 I do not think, unified league can happen as, I-league clubs can not afford that much of money. I think, AIFF should provide some kind of 'concession' to I-League clubs just to get them into unified league structure. Then, there should strategies placed that would help I-League clubs get sponsorship (hopefully, big I-league club would get deals because of their legacy n fans)

[@antoniokenbert]

Hi, really liked your video and presentation on the matter. I have been following Indian football since my childhood and really enjoyed watching matches in Goa of legendary clubs like Dempo, Sporting, Churchill and Salgaonkars in the NFL and latter on the I-League. One thing to note is that till today, the I-League is almost free for a spectator to go and watch which is why i feel the I-league clubs have lost revenue which they could have used to spend on marketing. ISL tickets are quite expensive specially in Goa and I have seen seats starting to be empty for FC Goa matches as people are getting weary of the high cost for tickets. IPL which is also franchise based tournament is controlled by the BCCI unlike ISL which is controlled by FSDL/Reliance and not by AIFF. The joy of football is not only about winning a league but also about surviving relegation. (That is why all matches in closing stages of EPL and other European Leagues are exciting unlike ISL/MLS) The AIFF for 46cr/yr (700cr for 15 yrs) have literally become a puppet of FSDL and that is the main problem. FSDL earns a minimum of 13cr/yr/team i.e. 130crs apart from the sponsorship deals and gives back 80% of the sponsorship money to the franchises. And are they even making efforts to promote the I-League as it is their duty as marketing partners? Last season FSDL curtailed telecast of I-league matches which were more exciting than the ISL. This will always happen as FSDL has a benefit from ISL succeeding and I-League failing. I fully support that the marketing and money was required by the AIFF but they could have (and can) easily ask FSDL to get the ISL teams to play in the I-League and promote the I-League. The I-League had corporate teams that had 5 year relegation immunity, the same could be extended to the ISL teams having contracts of 10 years since they have already completed 5 years in the ISL. The I-League clubs currently playing should also accept that ISL clubs are more professionally run and should embrace the necessary regulations leaving behind their egos. ISL was started because the clubs were never fulfilling criteria set by AFC/AIFF in the past. A 2 year window should be given to all clubs participating (including those being promoted from lower division) to meet the criteria followed by the ISL clubs else they should not be allowed to participate in the I-League from 2021-22 season (Even EPL and UEFA have criteria to be fulfilled by clubs for participating in theirs tournaments). As a compromise to the loss FSDL will make in profits due to closure of the ISL, give 20% of the revenue generated by the I-League through central sponsorship's to the FSDL as a fee for promoting the I-League and 10% to AIFF with the remaining 70% distributed among the teams following EPL model where even relegated teams get revenue for 1-2 yrs after relegation to avoid going bankrupt. We have lost many teams in the past due to unprofessional approach by the clubs and step-motherly treatment by the AIFF and I hope there is a positive change.

Dear Ankush, simply the number of views that your videos get scares me that some day this may stop. It will be dreadful , as yours is the only platform where Indian football fans get to know so much about the game in this country and your presentations are beautiful. I really hope you can keep this going ... Also please do some extensive reporting on i league clubs, perhaps you can make seperate episodes about all the i leagues clubs, fans should really know about the I league clubs. Your channel is the only one at the moment at national level which spread a little awareness about I league clubs

Hopefully, it will grow someday Koustav. Fingers crossed. And thanks for the suggestion!

@@OkayAnkush thats what we all are doing , keeping our fingers crossed... wish you all the very best for your future.

Only meetings , planning and paper work is done. Nothing is done for the development of football ⚽️ in India. India is far behind in football. Bangladesh and Afghanistan is holding us to a draw and decades have passed since we started projects to change Indian football. At ground level nothing is being done only bad commercialization of football is being done.

Hey ... Why don't you partner with other football channels like Tifo football etc so that people who don't know much about Indian football elsewhere will follow...There are so much people who watch & follow european football but little they know about Indian football .. But are interested to know...Will get much exposure of us & will help your channel & get people know about it.... You are really doing a fantastic job !!!!
