Previously AIFF with the AFC made a roadmap for Indian football which remarked that the Indian Super League, ISL is to be the tier-1 football competition of the country while the I-League is to be deemed as Tier-2. As time progresses, the winners of the I-League will get a chance to be promoted to ISL.
