Indian Super League- Examrace
9/27/2021 Indian Super League- Examrace Examrace Indian Super League Glide to success with Doorsteptutor material for competitive exams : get questions, notes, tests, video lectures and more- for all subjects of your exam. Background The All India Football Federation ended its 10 year deal with zee sports 5 years in advance in October 2010 and then joined hands with the Reliance Industries and the International Management group of the United States. This 15 year deal worth ₹ 700 crore gave IMG- Reliance exclusive rights to sponsorship, advertising, broadcasting, video, merchandising and a right to start an all new league in India. The other prominent football league in India was the I-League and it was totally against the AIFF the ISL for their own reason and did not support the idea. The I-League owners made it very clear that they would not loan out any players to IMG-Reliance for the league nor would they sign any player already playing in the Indian Super League. This roadblock did not stop the IMG-Reliance as the required number of players were already signed up for the tournament style league. Before going forward with the league a trial league-Bengal Premiere League Soccer was launched in associations with the Indian Football Association of West Bengal. The league was a failure but then too AIFF agreed to let IMG-Reliance at an all India level. The Indian Super League was officially launched on 21st October 2013 by AIFF, IMG-Reliance and Star Sports. At first it was announced that the league would take place for January-March (2014) but was then postponed to start in September the same year.
