The All India Football Federation on Friday said that the Indian Women’s League will remain an integral part of the competition calendar and will be held prior to May.
Subrata Dutta, senior vice president of AIFF and chairman of the League Committee chaired the virtual meeting.
However, the Committee said that due to the pandemic situation the rules for participation need to be relaxed for teams, the AIFF said in a release.
“The League has already initiated talks with State Associations, who are interested to host the 2020-21 edition.”
