List of foreign Indian Super League players

This is a list of foreign players in the Indian Super League, which commenced play in 2014.[1] The following players must meet both of the following criteria:

  1. Have played in at least one Indian Super League game (including finals). Players who were signed by Indian Super League clubs, but only played in cup and/or continental games, or did not play in any competitive games at all, are not included.
  2. Are considered foreign, i.e., outside India determined by the following:
A player is considered foreign if he is not eligible to play for the national team of India.

More specifically,

  • If a player has been capped on international level, the national team is used; if he has been capped by more than one country, the highest level (or the most recent) team is used.
  • If a player has not been capped on international level, his country of birth is used.

As of now, 91 FIFA-affiliated nations have been represented in the Indian Super League. Jordan is the most recent to be represented with Hijazi Maher debuting for East Bengal on 4 November 2023.
