ISL, I-League clubs including Bengaluru FC, FC Goa, Dempo SC, FC Madras, Mizoram FA & RF Young Champs issue an open letter to AIFF on the grave dangers of age fraud in Indian football. They condemn age fraud as it affects safety, fairness, and the sport's growth. The letter calls for an amnesty scheme and stricter penalties for adults responsible for age falsification.
