Indian Football

Indian football refers to the sport's development and culture in India, which has a rich history dating back to the late 19th century. The All India Football Federation (AIFF) governs the sport, overseeing leagues like the Indian Super League (ISL) and the I-League. India has produced notable players and teams, with a passionate fan base, particularly in regions like West Bengal and Kerala. Although historically overshadowed by cricket, football is gaining popularity, with increased investment in grassroots initiatives and the professional league system aimed at improving the national team's performance on the international stage.
