Sunil Chhetri, the captain of the Indian national football team and Bengaluru FC, has voiced his concerns regarding the uncertainty surrounding the Indian Super League (ISL). As a prominent figure in Indian football, Chhetri's sentiments carry significant weight among fans and players.

Chhetri addressed the situation by urging supporters and all members of ISL clubs to remain calm. This appeal comes in light of the ongoing legal discussions between the All India Football Federation (AIFF) and Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL), which have led to a delay in the ISL season.

Reflecting on his personal feelings, Chhetri shared his initial reaction to the news of a delay in pre-season activities. He initially saw a "fortnight's delay" as a positive, giving him more vacation time. However, that delay turned into an indefinite postponement, causing him to worry. Chhetri admitted to being concerned about his own career timeline but realized the broader implications for the sport were more important. After speaking with players from various clubs, he understood that his "selfish concerns aren't what matter most".

Despite the uncertainty, Chhetri remains optimistic that the individuals involved in Indian football will find a resolution. He expressed hope that "the think tank and all those involved in running the sport are working to get the football season up and running," and that a "solid fix" will be reached soon.

Chhetri's message emphasizes unity and patience as the situation unfolds. He trusts that the concerned authorities will find a positive and sustainable solution that ensures Indian football continues on the right path without setbacks.
