5) Future of Indian football

Although the I League is the premier league competition in India, it suffers from a lack of media coverage. There is hardly any hype or enthusiasm regarding the I League.

On the other hand, the Indian Super League (ISL) has managed to successfully capture the imagination of the Indian public. With a format based on the T20 IPL, it has managed to become the 4th best viewed football league in the world.

The AIFF plans to combine both leagues by 2017. Although, this plan is heavily opposed by the traditional clubs, it looks to be the best way to carry forward Indian football.
