Stadium in Kolkata for the spectacular opening
ceremony and the social media has been abuzz
with discussions about the league with celebrity
owners, experienced foreign managers and a
sprinkling of high-profile players.

1.2 billion, which ranks an embarrassing 158th
and was described as football's 'sleeping giant' by
FIFA president Sepp Blatter.
FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke was at hand
to watch Alessandro Del Piero's Delhi franchise
play out a goalless draw against David Trezeguet's
Pune and he liked the level of enthusiasm.
The tournament so far has also seen packed
stadiums at other venues and the trend is expected
to continue. It's not a question of competing
with cricket but I think India is big enough to have
a second sport and football is strong enough to
become the second sport in India," Valcke said.
