Awaking Hindustani football out of hibernation The Indian Super League was set up in 2013 after seeing that a lot of Indians are passionate about football, but unfortunately, have no national football league with International allure to watch. The Indian Super League aims to turn the table. It will comprise 8 franchise teams, owned from people and companies across the country. The league will begin in October and end in December.

While building their squads, each squad will have to sign: · At least seven foreigners, out of which two 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 Hindustani domestic players, four of which have to be local players from the city the outfit belongs to. Celebrity Ownership in the Indian Super League The competition is owned by Reliance Industries Ltd, Star India Pvt. Ltd. and IMG Worldwide Inc.
