AIFF hopeful of starting 2020-21 season in September or October

On March 15, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) suspended all major footballing tournaments including I-League and the various youth leagues following a directive from the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports (MYAS) due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

Live-action is yet to resume, but AIFF general secretary Kushal Das is hopeful that the Indian football season can restart in October.

"The Ministry of Sports has given us guidelines on training and has allowed sports to resume without spectators. But I believe that team sports and contact sports will take some time to resume.
