IM Vijayan: East Bengal's ISL entry would be fantastic

Indian football legend IM Vijayan feels that the entry of Kolkata giants East Bengal into the Indian Super League (ISL) would be a fantastic move for the sport in India.

Last week, Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, announced East Bengal's entry into the ISL and had said, "Mohun Bagan had joined ISL after an arrangement but East Bengal were trying for a very long time to play the ISL amidst the pandemic and that will finally happen now."

If things go according to plan, the Football Sports Development Ltd-owned (FSDL) league will have the involvement of two of the biggest clubs in India this season.
