Indian football club, Bengaluru FC has reportedly resumed paying salaries and settling dues with their first-team players and staff, after the uncertainty over the future of the Indian Super League (ISL) has eased.
The club had previously withheld salaries during the ISL's mid-season break, due to the uncertainty over the league's future and the COVID-induced financial crisis.
However, with the ISL's continuation confirmed by the league's authorities and sponsors, the club has now resumed their financial obligations to their employees, while also looking to secure new sponsorships and investments.
In contrast, Odisha FC opted out of the Super Cup, India's second-tier domestic competition, due to "numerous challenges posed by the ongoing pandemic and the financial concerns that come along."
Players and staff members of the club have not been paid their dues for several months now, and there has been no update on when payments will resume.
The club is currently in a period of transition, with new investors set to take over the team in the coming months.
It's worth noting that the financial situation of clubs can have a significant impact on the stability and growth of the football ecosystem.
The resumption of payments by Bengaluru FC is indeed a positive development, and it remains to be seen how this affects the club's performance, as well as the broader landscape of Indian football.
