The new Indian Professional Football League, also known as the I League, is the new football league in India started by the AIFF. It will replace the National Football league which lasted for 11 seasons. The 2007/2008 season will be the first for the I League. The league was set to begin September 30 and end in mid February. But with FIFA changing the dates for the World Cup qualifiers, the first season of the I League will begin November 24.


The New Season 2007/2008

The 2007/2008 season will be the first for the I League. In the first season, the league will consist of two divisions, the I League 1st Division and I League 2nd Division. The 1st Division will consist of 10 teams from five different cities. Eight of the teams will come over from last years final NFL and two promoted teams from the 2nd Division. The first ever I league will be sponsored by ONGC, who were also the previous sponsors of the now defunct NFL. The first match will be played in Margao, Goa on November 24 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Fatorda between rivals Dempo Sports Club and Salgaocar Sports Club. Also, for the first time, clubs in the I league will be allowed to register four foreigners, though teams will only be allowed to field three during a match. All matches will be telecast live and exclusive on Zee Sports.
