Indian Football Faces Turmoil as I-League Club Challenges AIFF in CAS
Indian football is facing problems in its top two leagues.
An I-League club, SC Bengaluru, is taking the AIFF to court because they were relegated.
They believe the other team had a player who shouldn't have been playing.
Also, the ISL, which is the other big league, is stuck because the teams and the AIFF can't agree on a new contract.
This is causing uncertainty for players, as the leagues are not working.
SC Bengaluru challenges AIFF in CAS over I-League relegation.
The hearing is scheduled for September 23, mirroring ISL's limbo.
SC Bengaluru contests relegation due to an ineligible player on the opposing team.
Delhi FC also contests relegation, citing past waivers.
ISL remains unresolved due to the Master Rights Agreement dispute.
