All India Football Federation’s (AIFF) Leagues CEO Sunando Dhar on Wednesday assured that it is “safe to resume” the I-League in the first week of March, two months after it was suspended due to a COVID-19 outbreak inside its bio-bubble in Kolkata.
The AIFF on Tuesday said that the country’s second tier league will resume on March 3, and the bio-security bubbles will be functional from February 20.
“I think it would be very safe for us to resume the league. We are good to go,” Dhar said. In hindsight, Dhar believes the AIFF’s decision to suspend the league in the first week of January was a correct one.
