History
After the disbanding of PSU clubs for not fulfilling AFC club licensing criteria, the All India Football Federation 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]
