ISL final likely to be held behind closed doors

The Indian Super League (ISL) final set to be held in Goa on Saturday is likely to be a 'behind closed doors' affair, following a government directive.

The final, set to be contested between Chennaiyin FC and ATK at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium, will most likely see no fans in attendance due to preventive measures being enforced to prevent a mass outbreak of COVID 19, a disease caused by the novel coronavirus that has been wreaking havoc all over the world.

This follows a directive from the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports to the Indian Olympic Association (IOC), Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and all other recognised sports bodies including the All India Football Federation (AIFF).
