I-League postponed for 'at least 6 weeks' due to Covid-19 outbreak within tournament bio-bubble

The AIFF said that the League Committee decided to postpone the league after the participating clubs came to a unanimous agreement to go with the advice provided by a member of the federation's medical committee.

The I-League was on Monday suspended for at least six weeks by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) after a fresh COVID-19 outbreak hit the participating teams inside the bio-bubble in Kolkata. The AIFF said that the participating clubs unanimously agreed to put off the matches for the time period and the federation will review the situation after four weeks.

The total number of COVID-19 cases now stands at 45 after the latest round of tests, according to PTI, which prompted the decision.
