Instead they should move ISL team from places like Goa,Kolkata and Kerala and make ISL team from Gujarat, Rajasthan & may be Andhra. So may be it will make game popular
This looks like a very confused strategy....we sure as hell can't accommodate 14 team top league in this congested calendar this year. These states don't even have a rudimentary state leagues yet....
How come they are trying to close I-league (well, 'merge') in one hand and inducting new teams on the other? Or we take it that the unified league is not happening?
@carbon_14, what you said will not happen simply because of one reason: AFC criteria. Now don't say that ISL teams have enough money to adhere to the norms.
Guys what i am hearing ISL is going to be merged into I League not the other way round their will be a second division. I League clubs will be given a chance to either play in Division 1 or 2 provided they fullfill certain criteria. ISL teams will not be relegated for first few years but I League teams will be .
Unified league of ISL + Ileague wont happen anytime soon. These new teams will be forming the core of the league one, once few teams from the existing I league will be inducted into ISL. All this will happen, only if AIFF manage to rope in a few clubs in the upcoming I league. I league will become 11 teams for 2016-17 season.
