The Nagaland Super League Governing Body has said that the information being shared on the list of franchises, operational guidelines and player recruitment details for the proposed NSL is “unauthorized and misleading”.

“The NSL Governing Body has not released any official statement or details related to the franchises, eligibility requirements or operational framework,” the body stated in a clarification. It has also said only one document for applying clubs and franchises has been issued to those organisations that have registered with an interest to participate in the league and this is an internal document for the registered franchises only.

Urging media outlets, social media users and the general public to refrain from sharing unverified information that is false and speculative, the Governing Body added that such dissemination of false information undermines the efforts of the NSL to ensure a transparent and professional process for the league’s development

Further, it said that all official announcements will be made exclusively by the NSL Governing Body through authorized channels, including press releases, official meetings or notifications issued by the NSL headquarters.
