According to the AIFF calendar, the IWL was supposed to start on April 15. However, with the senior women’s national team abroad for friendlies and Olympic qualifying first-round matches, the clubs have stated that if the tournament begins earlier, they will not have enough time to prepare. The India Senior Women’s team is currently on tour, competing in friendlies against Jordan and Uzbekistan. The players will then join their respective clubs after competing in first-round Olympic qualifiers in Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan on April 4 and 10, respectively.
The clubs also requested an increase in the number of foreigners, which was approved by the AIFF.
