The Indian Super League （ISL） was established in 2013 as a professional football league in India. It was founded with the aim of promoting football and developing the sport at the grassroots level across the country.
The inaugural season of the Indian Super League kicked off in October 2014, featuring eight franchise teams from various cities across India. The league follows a franchise-based model similar to other popular sports leagues in the country.
Since its establishment, the ISL has grown significantly in popularity and has become one of the most-watched football leagues in South Asia. The league has attracted international players and coaches, contributing to the development of football talent in India.
The ISL operates under the umbrella of the All India Football Federation （AIFF） and has played a crucial role in reviving interest in football among Indian audiences. The league season typically runs from October to March each year. |
