The Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) has on Tuesday announced that from season 8 of the Indian Super League (ISL), clubs will now need to have a minimum of seven Indian players on the field of play at any given point in time.
The inaugural two editions of the ISL required every franchise to field a minimum of five Indian players, which was increased to six from the ISL 2017-18 season. With the increase of Indian players to seven, it means that the number of foreign players in the starting XI will be limited to a maximum of four.
