The amazing ISL, Hindustan's own soccer league is going to begin from 12 October, and as Indian soccer fans gears up for this soccer league, here is primarily what you should know about it. Awaking Indian soccer out of hibernation The ISL was organized in 2013 after noticing that many Indians are crazy about football, but regrettably, have no national football competition with International allure to support. The HeroISL aims to turn this around. It is going to comprise eight franchise teams, owned from people and companies across the country. The competition will commence in October and end in December.

While building their clubs, each team will have to aqcuire: · At least seven foreigners, out of which two will be from the club 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 Indian domestic players, four of which have to be local players from the city the team belongs to.
