<p>The 2025-26 season of India's top soccer league has been indefinitely suspended because of contractual problems.</p>
<p>The 13-team Indian Super League was scheduled to begin in September, but Football Sports Development Limited confirmed Friday it's on hold. The organizer's contract expires in December and hasn't been renewed.</p>
<p>"In the absence of a confirmed contractual framework beyond December, we find ourselves unable to effectively plan, organize, or commercialize the 2025-26 ISL season," the FSDL said in a letter to clubs.</p>
<p>The season is "on hold until further clarity emerges on the contractual structure," it added.</p>
<p>ISL club Kerala Blasters announced Friday it allowed Spanish striker Jesus Jimenez to leave for a club in Poland.</p>
<p>There is still optimism, however, that there will still be a new season.</p>
<p>"The ISL will go ahead, maybe not with the name of the ISL," Delhi FC director Ranjit Bajaj told The , adding that he blames mismanagement from the federation.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, India's national team parted ways with coach Manolo Marquez after poor results put qualification for the 2027 Asian Cup in doubt.</p>
