Over the last couple of days, a big trouble in Indian football was that the Indian Super League (ISL) clubs were not willing to release any of their top players for the Asian Games 2022, being played in 2023, because it falls outside the International window set by the FIFA. Which means clubs are not obliged to release their players.
However, after invention from All India Football Federation (AIFF) President Kalyan Chaubey, both the Hyderabad FC and FC Goa agreed to release their top players, Gurmeet Singh and Chinglensana Singh from Hyderabad while Sandesh Jhingan and Dheeraj Singh from FC Goa, who have joined Indian football team squad for the Asian Games.
After that, a decision was taken that the match between Hyderabad FC and FC Goa won't take place on its scheduled date, 22nd September, and the ISL also confirmed that the match will be held at a future date, which will be announced in due course.
