​

The Indian Super League (ISL) (known as the Hero Indian Super League for sponsorship reasons) is a professional football league in India. The league is one of the top-tier football leagues in India, the other being the I League. The league features eight franchise teams from all around India.The ISL runs from September to December, with a finals series determining the champion.

The Indian Super League was founded in 2013 in an effort to make football a top sport in India and to make Indian football a major player worldwide.Unlike the majority of football leagues around the world, the ISL does not use the promotion and relagation system but instead a franchise system in which eight teams were created to participate in the league.

The inaugural season of the league started on 12 October 2014 and concluded on 20 December 2014.The current champions are Atlético de Kolkata, who won the 2014 season by beating the Kerala Blasters 1–0.

[SpitfiresKent]

I don't recognise a single player and as for 'Athletico de Kolkata' ...

 

[SambarVadai]

Atletico de Kolkata gets its name with the franchise partners and Atletico de Madrid if I am not wrong.

This league is a big initiative to promote football here.The i-leaue would/could never do it.

 

[IceAgeComing]

Football Leagues that don't use Promotion and Relegation are generally bad, since they either let teams be very bad for all of their history; and salary caps wouldn't fix anything since the players will just go away to the European Leagues rather than have their wages limited artificially.

 

[SambarVadai]

Is it true that Dinho is playing in ISL this season?

 

[Aravind.]

True. I'm not even going to follow this league, and Dinho made a mistake as the Indian media can't eve spell 'Signs' properly.
