Aizawl FC threaten fast until death and worldwide protests over uncertain future

The owner of the Mizoram-based side has stated the consequences of excluding them from the highly-anticipated restructuring of Indian football

Aizawl FC, the newly crowned champions of India, are mulling drastic measures which include fasting unto death if they are excluded from the All India Football Federation’s (AIFF) proposed merger between the Indian Super League (ISL) and the I-League.

The AIFF have been in talks with the three bigwigs of I-League - Bengaluru FC, Mohun Bagan and East Bengal - over including them in the proposed top flight league which will also include the eight ISL franchises but were put in a tight spot by Aizawl’s surprising league win.
