Awaking Indian football out of hibernation The HeroISL was initiated in 2013 after noticing that a lot of Indians are keen about football, but sadly, have no national soccer competition with International prestige to watch. The Indian Super League aims to turn the table. It is going to comprise eight franchise clubs, owned from people and companies across the country.

While building their outfits, each outfit will have to attract: · At least seven foreigners, out of which two will be from the squad and 5 will be from the foreign player draft; · One marquee 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 marquee player;" and · fourteen Hindustani homegrown players, four of which have to be local players from the city the team belongs to.
