Goan footballer and Chennaiyin FC star Mandar Rao Dessai has voiced his frustration over the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the Indian Super League (ISL) season. In a powerful Instagram post, the former India international urged the All India Football Federation (AIFF) to take swift action, calling the current situation an “existential crisis” for Indian football. Mandar’s appeal comes amid growing unrest among players and fans as the league’s future remains unclear following the failed tender process for broadcast and sponsorship rights.
