As 7th ISL resumes on Friday, Nita Ambani welcomes it

Mumbai, Nov 20 : On Friday, the seventh edition of the Indian Super League (ISL) football became the first major sports competition to kick off since the Covid-induced lockdown in March, and Nita Ambani, founder chairperson of Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL), which operates the league, welcomed its resumption.
The ISL matches are being played in Goa in a bio-bubble, and without spectators. The first match was played between Kerala Blasters FC and ATK Mohun Bagan on Friday.
ISL promises to be more exciting with the addition of Mohun Bagan and East Bengal, two of the most successful clubs in Indian football history.
“I am proud to announce that ISL will become the first sporting event of such large scale to be organised in our home country. We are overjoyed to bring the league back into your homes once again and broadcast it in over 80 countries outside of India,” says Nita Ambani in a video message for STAR Sports, the official broadcaster of the ISL.
Nita Ambani attributed the resumption of first sporting action in India to the spirit of sport.
“Sports has always been a symbol of hope and inspiration — a way to connect, reflect, engage and show solidarity. I am thrilled that we are back with yet another exciting season of football for you,” she said.
