Del Piero, one of the most respected football players of his generation, was part of the Fifa World Cup winning Italian team in 2006. Playing 19 years for Juventus, he holds numerous records at the club.The first season of Indian Super League encouraged increased football viewing on television. In a first, football sponsorship was noticeable. Traditionally, India is familiar with I-League. While an all new Indian Super League was audacious to begin with, it played the entertainment card that has starngely found an important place in Indian sports.
So, cricketers now own football clubs and marquee players offer the highly accepted foreign player touch. Indian Super League season two gets underway in October 2015. ISL did pack in quite a punch with its motley mix of football teams. However, multiple football leagues aren’t altogether conducive to favourable logistics and All India Football Federation (AIFF) is pressing for a single Indian football league which follows a more established format as followed by European leagues. Indian football is headed towards longer seasons with more participating teams.

Del Piero’s Delhi Dynamos FC finished in 5th place of 8 participating teams.
