The All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Friday proposed a new structure for the Indian Super League (ISL), under which the league would be owned and operated by the national body in accordance with its new constitution for the next 20 seasons.

According to the new proposal the AIFF formulated after a meeting with the ISL clubs, the league will implement a promotion and relegation system from the upcoming season.

Each season will be calculated from June 1 to May 31 of the next year. "We have sent the proposal to the clubs, we have to wait for their response in the next couple of days before finalising our plan," an AIFF source told PTI. "Let the clubs respond, we will try to find a solution after hearing them."

It is expected that the AIFF and the clubs will have two more rounds of meetings - one on Sunday and the other on Monday.
