What's the story?

For long fans have been clamouring for an inclusion of the Indian Super League (ISL) in FIFA gaming and all such claims have fallen on deaf ears. However, realistically this might be the best chance of having one of India's top football leagues on the best football gaming platform.

With FIFA 19 on the horizon, the power is in the hands of football fans around the world thanks to a poll released by EA Sports asking fans to let them know which leagues and countries need to be added for the next edition of the game. The ones with the most votes get a chance to be included. If India does manage to win the poll, it will be a historic moment that would surely put Indian football on the map.

In case you didn't know...

FIFA 18 has been a major hit worldwide but only includes the Indian national football team as a representative of the country and despite rumours of an ISL inclusion, nothing has been confirmed so far in the game.

The heart of the matter

The offer from EA Sports is done with an eye on preparing for the next edition of the famous gaming franchise and also includes voting on the likes of stadiums, national teams, cover stars for the game and icon players.

This information would help the developers understand what the fans really want and enhance their gaming experience altogether.

What's next?

It still remains to be seen whether India would have an impact on FIFA 19 in any way but the game should be huge this year as well and will most likely release in the latter half of September.

Author's take

With the power in the hands of gaming and football enthusiasts in the country, this could be the best chance to have Indian teams fight it out in FIFA gaming.
