The amazing HeroISL, India's own soccer league is going to take off from twelve october 2014, and while the fans anticipates for this football competition, here is what you should know about it. Awaking Hindustani soccer out of hibernation The HeroISL was set up in 2013 after seeing that a lot of Indians are crazy about football, but unfortunately, have no national football competition with International prestige to watch. The HeroISL aims to turn this around. It will have eight franchise teams, owned from people and companies across the country. The league will initiate in October and end in December. The eight teams that will compete in this league are: · Atletico de Kolkata, assisted by Antonio Lopez Habas, with Spain as the foreign draft. · Chennai Titans, trained by Marco Materazzi with Italy as the foreign draft. · Delhi Dynamos FC, practiced by Harm van Veldhoven with Netherlands as the foreign draft. · FC Goa, assisted by, Zico with Brazil as the foreign draft. · Kerala Blasters FC, practiced by David James with England as the foreign draft. · Mumbai City FC, practiced by Peter Reid with England as the foreign draft. · North East United FC, trained by Ricki Herbert with New Zealand as the foreign draft. · FC Pune City, coached by Franco Colomba with Italy as the foreign draft. While building their clubs, each club will have to attract: · At least 7 foreigners, out of which 2 will be from the outfit and five 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 star player;" and · fourteen Hindustani domestic players, four of which have to be local players from the city the outfit belongs to. Important Who's who in the ISL The league is owned by Reliance Industries Ltd, Star India Pvt. Ltd. and IMG Worldwide Inc. It would be aired exclusively on STAR Sports and will have Hero MotoCorp as the cup; thus the name Hero Indian Super League.
