The seventh Indian Super League is set to be held behind closed doors from November to March and it is likely to be restricted to two states in view of the Covid-19 pandemic with Goa and Kerala emerging as frontrunners.
“The league will be held behind closed doors for sure and the dates are from November to March. Kerala, Goa, West Bengal and Northeast were discussed as the likely states but Goa and Kerala can be said as the frontrunners at this point of time,” a source said. “The plan is to host in one or two states across multiple venues.”
Both Goa and Kerala are better placed than many other states at the moment as far as the Covid-19 situation is concerned, and that makes it “favourable” for the organisers to host the league there.
In the northeastern region, Aizawl, Imphal, Shillong, Guwahati and Gangtok were discussed as probable venues while Kolkata was also part of the discussion.
