In a landmark decision, the Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) has confirmed that the Indian Super League (ISL) will be held in Goa across three stadiums. The release also revealed that the seventh season of the ISL will be held behind closed doors with a likely start date of November.
After months and months of speculation, the Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) has finally confirmed that Goa will host the seventh season of the Hero Indian Super League. This is the first time that the ISL are doing something like this but their hand has been forced with the organisers looking to help restrict travel. The games will be held across three stadiums across Goa at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium at Fatorda, Margao, the Tilak Nagar Stadium at Vasco da Gama and the GMC Athletic Stadium at Bambolim.
"In this short period, we have crossed several remarkable milestones – ISL’s recent membership of the World League Forum, City Football Group’s investment in Mumbai City FC, ATK’s merger with Mohun Bagan, and ISL’s emergence as the fourth most popular league on social media with 38 million fan interactions, are all indicators of the phenomenal rise of Indian football.
“Sport is one of the greatest expressions of solidarity and a source of happiness for people around the world. My gratitude to all our clubs, players, and staff for their fortitude and resilience during these unprecedented times. I look forward to the upcoming season of ISL as we showcase, through football, the triumph of human spirit in fighting the pandemic with hope and courage.”
