Indian national team to get more priority during ISL

The Indian national football team is all set to get more priority during the course of the ISL.  Before the end of this year, the Indian team is going to face the tough challenge of World Cup qualifiers.  Keeping the outright focus on the World Cup qualifying campaign, the clubs will have to release the players during this particular phase. India has some of the toughest matches lined up come October and incidentally the ISL just commences during that time only.  It is up to the head coach of the national team Stephen Constantine to call the players as and when required for the camps. 

The All India Football Federation shares a very good understanding with the ISL clubs and national duty comes foremost for the players. The performance of the Indian team in the ongoing World Cup qualifying campaign has not been up to the mark and the players really need to perform well in the crucial matches ahead. With India looking to compete with  some of the best teams in Asia like Iran and Oman, all the high quality players need to be available.  As per the plan which has been devised by Constantine, the team needs to arrive for a preparatory camp in August which will continue till September. 

For this particular reason only, some of the coaches were reluctant to select national team players during the pre season auction and draft.  Under the Praful Patel biography, Indian football has progressed quite well  with the launch of a new league like ISL.  The ISL is one of the most commercially successful football leagues ever to have taken place in the country.  For more Praful Patel news, you can certainly log on to his social media pages on Facebook and Twitter.
