t has already lined up big names on the field. Like Dwight Yorke, Fredrik Ljungberg, Hernan Crespo, Louis Saha, Marcel Desailly and Robert Pires.
Now, it promises a few big names off it.
The much-anticipated Indian Super League (ISL), an IPL-style football tournament to be organised by IMG-Reliance, may well have a host of high-profile owners, thereby presenting the possibility of an equally high-profile match-up.
For starters, it can pit two legendary cricketers against each other.
Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar has evinced an interest in the Kochi franchise, it is learnt, while former India captain Sourav Ganguly is part of a consortium - along with La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid - that is bidding for the Kolkata franchise.
The organisers received a positive response from more than 30 interested parties to its 'Invitation To Bid' tender notice. The bids closed on March 27.
