LIVE: Indian Football On The Verge Of Decline? | Taira Malaney: Voice of India’s Turtle Guardians

Описание: The "sleeping giant" of world football is facing its darkest hour. As of December 2025, the sport in India has reached what experts call a "commercial and administrative standstill."

The Crisis: The Master Rights Agreement (MRA) between the AIFF and its commercial partner (FSDL) expired on December 8, 2025, leaving the Indian Super League (ISL) in a state of suspension with no commercial framework.

On-Field Woes: The Blue Tigers have slumped to their lowest FIFA ranking since 2016 (136th), following a historic first-ever loss to Bangladesh in an Asian Cup qualifier last month.

Switching gears to a story of hope and wonder, we are joined by award-winning filmmaker Taira Malaney, the director of the acclaimed documentary Turtle Walker.

The Story: The film documents the legendary life of Satish Bhaskar, who walked over 4,000 km of India’s coastline in the 1970s to save endangered sea turtles from extinction.
