The new HeroISL, India's exclusive football competition is going to launch from 12-10, and while the soccer fans gear up for this soccer league, here is everything you should know about it. Awaking Hindustani football out of hibernation The HeroISL was founded in 2013 after seeing that a lot of Indians are passionate about soccer, but regrettably, have no national football competition with International attention to watch. The ISL aims to turn the table. It will consist of eight franchise teams, owned from people and companies across the country. The competition will take off in October and end in December. The 8 clubs that will compete in this competition are: · Atletico de Kolkata, practiced by Antonio Lopez Habas, with Spain as the foreign draft. · Chennai Titans, assisted by Marco Materazzi with Italy as the foreign draft. · Delhi Dynamos FC, assisted by Harm van Veldhoven with Netherlands as the foreign draft. · FC Goa, trained by, Zico with Brazil as the foreign draft. · Kerala Blasters FC, assisted by David James with England as the foreign draft. · Mumbai City FC, coached by Peter Reid with England as the foreign draft. · North East United FC, practiced 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 outfits, each club will have to sign: · At least seven foreigners, out of which two will be from the squad and 5 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 · fourteen Hindustani homegrown players, four of which have to be local players from the city the squad belongs to.
