The Indian Super League (ISL) is a professional football league in India that operates without a traditional relegation system. Unlike many global leagues, the ISL follows a franchise model where teams are selected based on financial and infrastructural criteria rather than promotion and relegation. This structure ensures stability and encourages investment in Indian football, helping to grow the sport locally. The league focuses on developing homegrown talent and providing a platform for Indian players to showcase their skills alongside international stars. |
