History
After the disbanding of clubs associated with public sector undertakings for not fulfilling Asian Football Confederation club licensing criteria, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) was planning to make a corporate-clubs league in July 2017. A proposal was sent to the All India Public Sector Sports Promotion Board (AIPSSPB), but it was not organised then.[4][5]
The AIFF held a pre-meeting with 25 interested teams on 31 August 2023.[6] A few days later Request for Proposal was issued to the interested teams.[7] The league is expected to start in January 2024.
AIFF also mandated that the winners and runners-up of the Institutional League will be awarded direct entry into the Federation Cup 2024. The promotion-relegation system will also be applicable if there are more than one division in the league.[6]
