Role you're checking

Professional Footballer

Service

Professional footballers in India compete in the Indian Super League (ISL) and I-League — the two-tier structure under AIFF governance — with the top clubs being Mumbai City FC, Bengaluru FC, ATK Mohun Bagan, FC Goa, and Chennaiyin FC in ISL, and East Bengal, Mohun Bagan SG (pre-merger entity), and Punjab FC in I-League. The Indian Women's League (IWL) runs a parallel domestic circuit. Indian players at the senior national team level hold AIFF retainer contracts, earn per-match fees, and are drawn from club rosters via selection camps coordinated around FIFA match windows. The career is physically compressed — most footballers peak between 22 and 32 — and income relative to Indian cricket is modest, though ISL marquee-tier contracts have crossed ₹1Cr per season for top domestic talent. Reliance Foundation Young Champs (RFYC) alumni and Minerva Punjab / AIFF Academy graduates form the primary pipeline into senior professional football.
