The Indian Women’s League (IWL) is the top-tier women’s professional football league in India. It was founded in 2016. All India Football Federation (AIFF) founded the league as a way to promote and develop women’s football in the country. Meanwhile, the league has since become a popular platform for women footballers in India. They can showcase their skills and compete against each other. In this article, we will discuss the history, trophies, revenues, and rivalries of the Indian Women’s League.
It was first launched in 2016 with the support of the AIFF. The inaugural season featured seven teams from different parts of the country. Since then, the league has grown in popularity and expanded to include more teams. The league is currently in its sixth season, with 12 teams competing for the trophy.
The Indian Women’s League features two major trophies – the League title and the Hero IWL Shield. The League title is awarded to the team that finishes on top of the league table at the end of the season, while the Hero IWL Shield is awarded to the team that wins the knockout tournament.
The Indian Women’s League is still in its early stages, and the revenues generated by the league are relatively low. However, the AIFF has been working to promote the league and attract more sponsors. In recent years, the league has seen an increase in sponsorship deals and TV coverage, which has helped to raise the profile of women’s football in India.
As the Indian Women’s League is still a relatively new competition, there are no major rivalries yet. However, some of the teams have developed healthy competition between them over the years. For example, Gokulam Kerala FC and Sethu FC have had some intense matches in the past, with both teams battling it out for the top spot in the league.
The Indian Women’s League has provided a platform for women footballers in India to showcase their skills and compete against each other. Despite being in its early stages, the league has shown a lot of promise and has the potential to become a major force in Indian football. With more investment and support from the AIFF and other stakeholders, the league could help to raise the profile of women’s football in India and encourage more young girls to take up the sport.
