The new ISL, Hindustan's own football league is going to commence from October 12th, and as the people hypes up for this football competition, here is everything you should know about it. Taking Indian soccer out of coma The Indian Super League was set up in 2013 after noticing that many Indians are wild about soccer, but sadly, have no national soccer league with International allure to support. The HeroISL aims to turn the table. It will have eight franchise clubs, owned from people and companies across the country. The league will commence in October and end in December. The 8 teams that will compete in this competition are: · Atletico de Kolkata, assisted 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, practiced by Harm van Veldhoven with Netherlands as the foreign draft. · FC Goa, practiced by, Zico with Brazil as the foreign draft. · Kerala Blasters FC, coached 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, trained 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 two will be from the team 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 · fourteen Hindustani domestic players, four of which have to be local players from the city the team belongs to. High-Profile Ownership in the Indian Super League The competition is owned by Reliance Industries Ltd, Star India Pvt. Ltd. and IMG Worldwide Inc.
