ISL 2017: Top 5 clubs with the highest number of Twitter followers
The Indian Super League is getting bigger and bigger with each passing year with this upcoming season expected to be the biggest of them all. With the league now being four months long and getting recognition from AFC, surely the ISL is expected to be at the peak of its popularity. The season four is expected to cause an uproar from the fans, on and off the field.
As any popular league in the world, ISL has its fair share of supporters on social media platforms. The current footballing scenario sees the game being discussed on Twitter and Facebook more than even in a team's dressing room.
This level of engagement on some of the biggest social media platforms on the internet give fans of various teams another topic to debate upon as to which side is the most popular on social media. So without wasting further time, let's take a look at the five ISL clubs with the highest following on Twitter:
#5 FC Goa - 286k Twitter followers
Barring a final appearance in the second season, FC Goa's stint in the ISL have not gone as planned. The Gaurs often start well but lose their plot in the middle and finish meekly. But that has not deterred the loyal fan base of Goa to follow their favourite stars on social media platforms passionately.
With a Twitter following of 286 thousand, FC Goa are the fifth most followed ISL club in the world. Goa is a football mad state and it is obvious that a team from the picturesque city of Panaji will have a huge backing from the locals and other supporters alike.
