The All India Football Federation (AIFF) said in a statement on Sunday said that Justice (retd.)

The interested parties had till November 7, 5pm to submit the tenders. But on Friday, when the deadline expired, the AIFF, embarrassingly, did not have a single bid. And now, the future of the ISL — at a time when men’s football is going through one of its darkest phases — looks uncertain once again. Story continues below this ad ”The financials …
