AIFF says truncated ISL gets AFC recognition; ISL, Super Cup champions to get indirect slots
NEW DELHI: (Jan 15) The All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Thursday said the sport’s continental body AFC has accorded recognition to the truncated 2025-26 Indian Super League with winners of the country’s top two divisions getting indirect slots to Asian Champions League 2 through zonal qualifiers.
Due to a delayed start to the season, the clubs will not be able to play the mandatory 24 matches in the season — including top division league and domestic cup — to be eligible to feature in the AFC Champions League 2.
Most clubs are expected to play a total of sixteen (16) matches during the season, including a minimum of three (3) games in the AIFF Super Cup and 13 in ISL.
