MUMBAI: Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL), promoter and organiser of the Hero Indian Super League (ISL), and the Premier League have renewed their ‘Mutual Cooperation Agreement’.
The new agreement will see the ISL and Premier League continue to work together to share knowledge and expertise in all areas of the elite game, including governance, talent development, commercial growth, administration and wider community development.
The partnership between the two leagues began six years ago and this new agreement will allow the leagues to continue working together to enhance the coaching, refereeing and football development in India.
“The Indian Super League is now forging into next step of our partnership with Premier League. The association over the last six years have been very satisfying for the work we have done in developing Indian football. We would like the two Leagues to further strengthen the tie through the renewed Premier League-ISL partnership to work on youth development, coaching and refereeing aspects,” FSDL chairperson Mrs Nita Ambani said here Friday.
Premier League chief executive Richard Masters noted: “We are extremely pleased to reaffirm our long-term commitment to developing football in India by signing a new Mutual Cooperation Agreement. Over the past six years, and in partnership with the Hero ISL, we have supported football coaching and development, as well as other areas of the elite side of the game including infrastructure and finance. This new agreement brings with it a new focus, this time on the development of youth football, so we look forward to working in collaboration with our Indian counterparts to enhance this area of the game.”
