Mumbai, Sep 8: Former national captain IM Vijayan believes a longer Indian Super League (ISL) season with weekend-centric matches from 2022-23 season onwards will usher in a cultural evolution in Indian football.
ISL organisers Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) recently announced the schedule for the 2022-23 season, which starts on October 7.
“Having one or two games at the end of the week is better for the fans and the team. As all the teams are playing in their respective time slots, the fans will get a better opportunity to enjoy well. The excitement among the fans will also increase. The players will also get enough rest,” Vijayan said in a release.
The ISL will follow a weekend-centric schedule with each matchweek being played out between Thursdays and Sundays. (PTI)
