On 20 February 2017 the fifth division side, Sutton United hosted the all-time record FA Cup holders, Arsenal in the fifth round. It was the greatest day in the history of the non-league club. The stadium was sold out with fans excited to see the superstars of North London.

The out of shape reserve keeper, Shaw who also worked for the club as the groundsman, was caught eating pie, live on the national television. This is the best example of how much excitement a Cup Competition can bring nationally.

ISL's introduction to a Cup competition like the FA Cup in England will be the most welcome update. In the Cup competition, even the lowest division team can fancy the possibility of playing against some of the biggest clubs in India. Some special talents can be scouted in these fixtures. A reserve goalkeeper like Wayne Shaw will be a treat for the eyes of the Indian fans too.
