Speaking about the League Committee meeting, Dr. Prabhakaran, the AIFF General Secretary said, “We had fruitful discussions in the League Committee meeting, and there was special emphasis on women’s football. We all felt that we must encourage more women clubs to play at a local level, which would eventually push women’s football in India to greater heights in the future.”
Alongside the Indian Women’s League, details surrounding the I-League will also be revealed in due course. The AIFF has set a deadline till the end of the 2022/23 season to decide the fixtures, the broadcasters and all other details surrounding the 2023/24 season of the competition.
