FIFPRO has urged for a quick resolution regarding the administrative crisis paralyzing India's domestic football league, which has led some clubs to suspend player salaries. The 2025-26 Indian Super League season was postponed due to unresolved contractual disputes between the Indian Football Federation and Football Sports Development Limited. This has left players and staff in a precarious position. FIFPRO asserts that some players face unlawful employment contract suspensions and emphasizes the significant distress caused by this situation, calling for clarity on the season schedule from all involved parties.
FIFPRO has called for a speedy resolution of an administrative crisis that has paralyzed India's domestic football league and seen some clubs suspend players' salaries.
The 'escalating uncertainty' was having a 'significant impact' on the players' 'livelihoods, careers, and wellbeing.'
In the absence of a confirmed contractual framework beyond December, we find ourselves unable to effectively plan, organize, or commercialize the 2025-26 ISL season.
Players have been subjected to unilateral and unlawful suspensions of their employment contracts until further notice, representing a direct breach of the players' labor rights.
