The International Federation of Professional Footballers (FIFPro) on Saturday urged the Indian Super League (ISL) clubs to “to respect players’ contractual entitlements” amid multiple reports of players in the league having to accept pay cuts. The league is scheduled to start on February 14, five months later than the usual schedule, which has led to clubs incurring heavy losses. It has also resulted in most players going for months without pay and, in the days since the All India Football Federation (AIFF) announced the new start date for the league, multiple clubs have announced that players have agreed to take pay cuts for this season. “Many have been forced to rely on personal savings, take short-term contracts in state leagues, or seek alternative employment simply to support themselves and their families,” FIFPRO Asia/Oceania said in its official statement. “Despite these extraordinary challenges, players have continued to demonstrate Incredible professionalism. Alarmingly, FIFPRO Asia/Oceania has received recent reports that several clubs are pressuring contracted players into accepting salary reductions.” STATEMENT | @FIFPROAsiaOce calls on all Indian Super …

Mohammedan Sporting’s place in the Indian Super League (ISL) hangs in the balance after Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) issued a stern warning to the club over financial non-compliance and unresolved investor disputes. The historic Kolkata-based club, which made its ISL debut last season but finished bottom of the table, has been asked to provide a detailed plan to secure a replacement investor and submit a full statement of outstanding dues by April 11. Failure to meet these requirements could lead to the termination of their participation in the league. In a letter dated April 4, FSDL raised concerns after two major investors – Gurugram-based Bunker Hill Sports and Kolkata’s Shrachi Group – considered pulling out due to unresolved shareholding issues. Both entities claim that despite investing significant sums into the club, they have not received the agreed-upon stakes. “After three years of investment, Deepak Singh of Bunker Hill still holds no official share. It’s the same story for us after 18 months,” Rahul Todi, chairman of the Shrachi Group, said. “We have no locus …

Investors stop funding, Mohammedan Sporting faces uncertain future

Kolkata: The future of Indian Super League (ISL) club Mohammedan Sporting is in jeopardy as its investors, Shrachi Sports and Bunkerhill, have officially pulled up the release of funds. The impasse stemmed from the club’s failure to issue promised shares, alleged Shrachi Sports, leading to a legal tussle. On Tuesday, Shrachi Sports announced that it could no longer fund Mohammedan Sporting due to the club’s ongoing legal conflict with Bunkerhill. Bunkerhill had sued the club last month, accusing Mohammedan Sporting of not fulfilling its commitment to issue shares. This development cast doubt on Mohammedan Sporting’s ability to continue its ISL campaign midway through the season. Shrachi Sports, a venture of the Kolkata-based Shrachi Group, joined as an investor in August 2024, holding a 30.5 per cent stake alongside Bunkerhill. Mohammedan Sporting retained the remaining shares in the century-old club. Shrachi’s investment was pivotal in enabling the club’s ISL debut. Players’ grievances The latest development unfolded a week after players staged a protest and boycotted training on the eve of their ISL clash against Chennaiyin FC, …

On a windy New Year’s Eve at the Gachibowli Stadium in Hyderabad, a thoroughly introverted boy gave West Bengal’s football fans one of the most memorable moments in seven years. His shirtless celebration so perfectly poised, it seemed almost too good to be true. Robi Hansda, a 25-year-old tribal boy from the nondescript Musharu village in West Bengal’s Purba Bardhaman district, made headlines by scoring the winning goal against Kerala in a nail-biting Santosh Trophy final. His airborne strike in the 94th minute took the entire state on the eastern fringe of the country by storm. Robi finished from point-blank range after Aditya Thapa headed the ball into the box. This was just one precedent of the brilliance Robi displayed throughout the national football championship. He scored 12 goals, breaking the legendary Mohammed Habib’s record for most goals scored for Bengal in a single edition, set in 1969. He swept the prize ceremony, winning Player of the Match, Player of the Championship, and Top Scorer awards. A star is born Bengal had not seen a …

West Bengal’s Santosh Trophy-winning star, Robi Hansda, has signed a six-month agreement with Indian Super League (ISL) side Mohammedan Sporting Club, reported Ei Samay. Robi made history by surpassing Mohammed Habib’s record to become the highest goal scorer for West Bengal in the Santosh Trophy, netting 12 goals in a single edition of India’s prestigious national championship. Upon his return to Kolkata from Hyderabad with the victorious West Bengal team, intense bidding ensued between East Bengal and Mohammedan Sporting to secure the services of the talented striker. Robi, a tribal footballer from Masaru village in Purba Burdwan district, eventually chose Mohammedan Sporting on a six-month loan from Calcutta Customs Club. The decision was influenced by the greater likelihood of getting match time at Mohammedan Sporting compared to East Bengal. Robi had drawn significant attention after an impressive campaign in the Calcutta Football League last year, where he scored nine goals for Customs. Clubs such as Bhawanipore Club and an I-League side had also shown interest in signing him. However, Mohammedan Sporting’s keen pursuit, particularly after …
