Bengaluru FC suspends salaries, including Sunil Chhetri’s, amid ISL deadlock; AIFF to meet clubs on Aug 7

Bengaluru FC has suspended salaries for its senior players and staff indefinitely due to the unresolved suspension of the Indian Super League. The crisis stems from a deadlock between the All India Football Federation and Football Sports Development Limited, with the leagues future hanging in balance as their agreement nears expiry. Eight ISL clubs have called for urgent talks. Bengaluru FC's grassroots and youth programmes will continue as normal, but the first teams future remains uncertain as Indian football enters a critical phase.
