The Indian Super League （ISL） has faced significant criticism regarding its impact on local football development. Many argue that the league prioritizes commercial interests over nurturing homegrown talent, leading to a reliance on foreign players that stifles opportunities for Indian athletes. This has raised concerns about the long-term growth of football in the country.
Additionally, critics point to issues with scheduling conflicts, poor infrastructure in some venues, and inconsistent quality of matches. These factors have contributed to debates on whether the ISL is effectively promoting the sport at the grassroots level or merely serving as entertainment. |
