The 2020-21 season of the I-League could start in the last week of December, as per the All India Football Federation's (AIFF) CEO of Leagues Sunando Dhar.
Dhar revealed that the pandemic has not allowed many I-League teams to even start training and the overseas recruitment has hit a snag. As a result, the Indian FA are considering starting the I-League in the last week of December.
"We had a meeting with I-League club owners. The (Covid-19) situation is very grim in some parts of India. Some teams have not been able to start practising.
