NEW DELHI: Acting on expected lines, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) has allowed the five Hero Indian Super League clubs that failed to get the National Licence for 2020-21 season to participate in national competitions this season.
SC East Bengal, Odisha FC, Hyderabad FC, Kerala Blasters FC and NorthEast United FC will now be able to play the seventh edition of the ISL despite failing to secure the AFC and National licences for the 2020-21 season.
