Northeast United FC interim coach Khalid Jamil claimed that Indian footballers are eager and desperate to learn new concepts, with him working with many footballers this season. The Indian manager is a former I-League winning coach with Aizawl FC, having won the trophy back in the 2016-17 season.

Six I-League clubs have decided to approach parent bodies AFC and FIFA to seek help regarding the current situation of Indian football before they move to court. The I-League clubs have been kept out of meetings by the AIFF and may also have to give up its AFC qualification spot to ISL.
