The league committee of the All India Football Federation on Thursday made recommendations for a promotion and relegation based system for the Indian Women’s League.
The IWL, which was first introduced in 2016, has seen four teams win the competition in its six seasons, with the reigning champion Gokulam Kerala emerging victorious three times.
“In a major move, the committee recommended introducing the system of promotion-relegation of teams involving IWL and IWL 2, effective from the 2024-25 season,” said AIFF in a release.
“The committee reviewed the nominations filed by the various state associations for IWL 2 and recommended steps to finalise it. After long deliberations, the committee recommended setting February 5, 2024, as the last date of nomination for the IWL 2 teams,” it added.
Additionally, the committee, during a meeting on Thursday, also examined the proposed calendar for the AIFF Club competitions starting from the 2024-25 season.
Besides, approval was also granted to the regulations for the ongoing I-League 2 season.
The virtual meeting was led by Lalnghinglova Hmar, M Satyanarayan (acting secretary), Santanu Pujari (deputy chairperson), besides committee members Arif Ali, Caitanno Jose Fernandes, Anirban Dutta and Amit Chaudhuri.
The committee members also expressed their deep condolences for the demise of Real Kashmir FC owner Sandeep Chattoo last month.
