The Indian Super League (ISL) has achieved another global recognition after induction into the prestigious World Leagues Forum (WLF).
With that ISL becomes the first league from South Asia and seventh in Asia to join the association of World League Forum. The WLF also comprise professional football leagues like La Liga, Premier League, Bundesliga & many more.
Presently, WLF has members from 5 continents representing close to 1200 clubs worldwide and works closely with FIFA on the growth of professional football, by sharing best techniques and improved standards and structures in professional football.
“It is an honour for ISL to get a seat at the World Leagues Forum table. This recognition from WLF is a testimony to Indian football’s rise on the global stage, and the role that ISL is playing in it.” Said by Nita Ambani, Founder & Chairperson of Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL).
She added “In 2014, when we launched ISL, we had a dream to revolutionize football in India. Every year since then, we have consistently risen the bar and given a world-class platform to our young footballing talent.”
“It is a great pleasure and an honour to welcome the Indian Super League in the professional football family. The ISL has achieved a lot in recent years and is now on a path to becoming a major league in its region. The WLF and its member leagues look forward to sharing experiences with the ISL and contribute to its future development,” Jerome Perlemuter, General Secretary, World Leagues Forum said.
World Leagues Forum aims to enable a partnership between the Leagues through information sharing and exchange of proven processes with a priority on assisting the emerging leagues in their development.
The WLF’s global recognition to ISL will surely give a boost with the development of footballing culture in India.
