List of foreign Indian Super League players

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of foreign players in the Indian Super League, which commenced play in 2014.[1] The following players must meet both of the following criteria:

  1. Have played in at least one Indian Super League game (including finals). Players who were signed by Indian Super League clubs, but only played in cup and/or continental games, or did not play in any competitive games at all, are not included.
  2. Are considered foreign, i.e., outside India determined by the following:
A player is considered foreign if he is not eligible to play for the national team of India.

More specifically,

  • If a player has been capped on international level, the national team is used; if he has been capped by more than one country, the highest level (or the most recent) team is used.
  • If a player has not been capped on international level, his country of birth is used.

As of now, 94 FIFA-affiliated nations have been represented in the Indian Super League. Central African Republic and Uzbekistan are the most recent to be represented with Lobi Manzoki and Mirjalol Kasimov debuting for Mohammedan on 16 September 2024.
