Igor Stimac, the head coach of the national football team, is not happy with the rule of introducing more foreign players in the Indian Super League (ISL) and I League matches. He said that this is a hurdle in preparing Sunil Chhetri for the future. Stimak said that the ISL and I-League should follow the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) policy in which a maximum of four foreign players can be fielded in a match. Five foreign players can be fielded in the Indian League.

Stimac said, 'For the top tier league in the country, I suggest that they follow the 3 + 1 rules of AFC. This is the basic rule for foreign players. Most successful Asian countries follow this rule, so they have options for strikers, midfielders and center backs for the national team.

Stimac said, 'We do not have (Indian) strikers in the I-League. Striker Vikram Pratap Singh plays only for Indian Arrows. This is the biggest problem before us. We need to change things in favor of the national team. 'This Croatian said,' It would be ideal to merge these two leagues (ISL and ILIG). '
