Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) has decided to allow five instead of three substitutions in the Indian Super League (ISL) – Season 7.
With the whole ISL campaign being held across a short window, the maximum number of substitutes has been increased from three to five, keeping in mind the welfare of players amid the ongoing pandemic. Teams can use their five substitutes over a maximum of three intervals, and it doesn’t include the changes at the half-time break.
In other decisions, all clubs must have a minimum of five and a maximum of seven foreign players in their squad. Among the foreign players in the squad, at least one of them must be Asian Football Confederation (AFC) affiliated. A maximum of five of these foreign players can be on the field at any point of a game along with a minimum of six Indians.
Furthermore, all clubs are required to have a minimum of two ‘Developmental Players’ – players who were born on or after January 1, 2000 – in their matchday teams.
