ISL 2017: Pre season destinations of all 10 clubs
The 2017-18 ISL season is all set to become the biggest and the best of all ISL seasons till date with the induction of two new teams - Bengaluru FC and Jamshedpur FC - and the expansion of the season's schedule from a mere a two months to five.
With an AFC Cup spot now guaranteed to the winners, the teams will leave no stone unturned to grab both the title and the AFC Cup. We saw all the clubs buying players with hunger in July's draft pick and also in the foreign transfer market.
All of that has seen a few reputed international stars like Robbie Keane, Dimitar Berbatov, and Wes Brown come to India which is now no longer a surprising prospect.
A bigger season means a longer preseason for the clubs. Here, we take a look at the destination of the teams for the two months' preseason training before the 2017-18 ISL kicks off.
ATK
Defending champions ATK, who have players like Robbie Keane and Robin Singh in their ranks, are already in Dubai, getting ready to defend their title. The foreign contingent reached on 8th of this month while the Indian boys reached a day later, fresh from their AFC Asian Cup qualifier match against Macau. They are the second club after Bengaluru FC to have started the preseason campaign for the upcoming ISL season.
