The tournament ranks among the best attended Football League in the world.

Hero Indian Super League, inching closer to its halfway mark, has achieved the rare milestone of having registered the highest average stadium attendance for any football League in Asia, thus celebrating the onset of India’s arrival as a footballing nation to the world.
At the completion of Match#27, November 9, 2014, the inaugural edition of Hero Indian Super League has had an average stadium attendance of 22,639, positioning ISL as best attended League across Asia, ahead of competitions such as China’s CSL, Japan’s J-League and South Korea’s K-League.

The popularity with which the ISL has been received only spurs us on towards realising the eventual dream of giving rise to a footballing nation. We take this opportunity to thank the people of India for extending such great support,” ISL spokesperson said.
