I think if AIFF incapable to develop Indian Football, we (all Indian Football fans & digital influencers related to Indian Football) should rage our voice on it.

[@protikbanerjee5933]

Well, I guess you are right that the FSDL is probably the only way out for now to see Indian football through, quite clearly the ISL project of reliance has not panned out the way we all expected it to be nor FSDL thought of it to become. But again, how much has the FSDL and the ISL actually contributed to the growth in the football of the country? What if barring a few "Franchisees"(the likes of hyderabad and Northeast) pulling out what if most of the Clubs stay and have a very different way of conducting the top tier league of country? Maybe in the new contract FSDL should relax its approach a bit, take less of a franchisee fees and maybe ask a say 5cr to invest in the youth development?-just suggesting hypothetically

[@kaushik7383]

If FSDL dosen't invest on grassroots. It will keep going downhill.

[@arunfoot]

If Reliance pulls out, numerous franchises would move out of Indian football and the financial ecosystem created would collapse.

[@pranabdas8866]

FSDL has reported a loss of:
₹13 crore in 2020-21
₹46 crore in 2021-22
₹27 crore in 2022-23
?? in 2023-24

Privatisation will just kill again Indian football essence. Why not the franchises and other clubs form a board and run the leagues

[@ashispaul5317]

You can't as no broadcast channels Come to show the matches

Almost 10 years after its inception, the 'ISL' is yet to become a fully FIFA compliant football league. There is not a single football #stadium in the country. Elite football players are not interested in playing football on the #cricket field. I don't even know what is the condition of the football stadium in Gujarat now. Actually the organizers are not #interested in raising the ISL to FIFA Standard.
The Indian national football team is #suffering due to the irregularities of the ISL administration. They don't get the best #players. They still played low quality football throughout the Afc Asian cup and World Cup Qualifiers. Indian football has been put to shame. #ISL needs a lot of work. Players playing international matches with fear and anxiety. Disappointed in all top tournament . Inexperience is evident. Please stop playing saff cup, it's all funny matches😆. Please make a new tournament like '#FIFA Common Wealth Trophy'. In this tournament All British colonial countries under same tournament. It will definitely help to improve Indian football. Those Asian, European, American, African teams definitely teach Indian football a lesson. Maximum and minimum age for players is 16-24 . Aiff football federation recommend for this tournament at any cost.
In Asian tournaments Players from other teams use their experience of playing in afc champions league, afc asia cup and European leagues for their country. India's participation in afc matches should be increased. #Slots should be added. Some people are created the ISL in the same format as the #IPL. You can see that kind of debt in ISL. It should be recognized that ISL is not a football #tournament but a football league. Even if the Indian football team changes the coach, it is not possible to make any change without quality players. In 10 years of ISL nothing has reached the Indian National Team. Sad but true.
To bring the ISL up to #FIFA standards, the first step is to switch to a league #format entirely. After all league matches in the league, the team that tops the table should be declared as the #winner of the league. Semifinals and Finals should be #removed. ISL should be divided into 3 divisions. ISL first division, ISL second division, ISL third division. 14 football clubs should participate in all the three divisions. #14+14+14=42 professional football clubs total. Maximum young players should be selected from these 42 teams for the Indian National football team without any recommendation or bribe. Please avoid age above 32 players.At least this much should be done to grow football in India. #VAR should come.
For the first time, a football team in India has to enter the ISL through the ISL third division. It needs promotion and #relegation. There are only Indian football players in the third division. The last 2 teams in the table of the third division should be relegated and new teams should be admitted instead. Third division Table top 2 teams should be promoted to ISL second division.
Now the last 2 teams in the ISL second division table have to be relegated to the ISL third division. Foreign players should be restricted in ISL second division as well. Only 9 Indian players + 2 foreign players are allowed on the ground during the match. Now the first 2 teams to top the ISL second division table should be promoted to the ISL first division
The last 2 teams in the ISL first division table have to be relegated to the ISL second division. In the ISL first division too, there should be some restriction on foreign players. Maximum 4 #foreign players on the ground.
#There is only way India to enter world cup 2026 or upcoming world cup tournament, Host the tournament. Hosting Countries can directly got qualification like India played u17 world cup.😭😔😞
# Please regroup Indian football team without players and management Politics, remove all unwanted players above age 32, sack current coach
#Present ISL should be declared as ISL first division
#Existing 'I league' should be renamed as "ISL second division"
#ISL should have three divisions.
#Play more international fixtures to players overcome fear and anxiety, Inexperience
# Play friendly match with Latin American teams and European teams
#ISL first division Table top 2 teams should be given entry to Afc champions league.
#3rd, 4th position should be given entry to Afc Cup.
#The ISL Super Cup should be held with the table top 16 teams (f6+s5+t5) of the three divisions, without break the flow of ISL matches.
#ISL league winner vs ISL super cup winner match is required.
#Appoint a new Head coach from Germany, Italy, Spain, Argentina,France, Portugal Consider These countries

Sorry but numerous of your assumptions are wrong.
Just picking out two of them.
The ISL is a fully FIFA compliant football league as there is no requirement of promotion or relegation. Look at North America's MLS or Australia's A-League.
And India can only play friendlies within the FIFA windows. Higher ranked nations are unwilling to play us.
