Bringing Indian football out of coma The Indian Super League was founded in 2013 after seeing that many Indians are wild about football, but sadly, have no national football league with International prestige to support. The ISL aims to turn this around. It is going to consist of 8 franchise clubs, owned from people and companies across the country. The competition will start in October and end in December.

While building their squads, each outfit will have to aqcuire: · At least 7 foreigners, out of which 2 will be from the club and five will be from the foreign player draft; · One star player, which in the words of AIFF is "A foreign recruit who has represented his country in any of the continental championships like the European Championship, Copa America, African Nations Cup, Asian Cup, or FIFA World Cup will be called a star player;" and · 14 Indian domestic players, four of which have to be local players from the city the club belongs to.
