ISL approves 4 foreign players regulation for 2021-22 season

Tuesday, 07 July 2020 | PTI | New Delhi

The Indian Super League on Monday approved 3+1 foreign player regulation for matches of the franchise-based event, bringing it down from the existing five to boost “increased participation” of local players.

The regulation will become part of the competition guidelines from the eighth season in 2021-22.

The decision was taken during a Football Sports Development Ltd (FSDL) meeting attended by its chairperson Nita Ambani and is being  communicated with the stakeholders including clubs and the All India Football Federation (AIFF).

As per the new regulation, an ISL club could sign maximum of six foreigners in the squad including a compulsory Asian origin player, with four foreigners on the field.

The 3+1 foreign player rules are governed by the Asian Football Confederation competition regulation.

The move is expected to boost increased participation of Indian players in the top-flight competition. Currently an ISL club is allowed to sign up to seven International players and play a maximum of five on the field.
