MUMBAI: Football enthusiasts have always gone to great lengths to support their teams in the Hero Indian Super League (ISL). From Kochi to Guwahati, fans have thronged the stadiums to cheer their heroes from the sidelines and the din has grown louder every year. As another exciting season of the Hero ISL gets underway on 20 November on the Star Sports Network and Disney+ Hotstar VIP, the setting will be a lot different with all matches in the tournament being played behind closed doors.

However, fans need not worry as Hero ISL 2020-21 has come up with an opportunity for them to get closer to the game than ever before. Introducing new technological innovations, Star Sports and FSDL bring forward a series of exciting opportunities for supporters to engage with their favourite clubs and players with an added zeal. In the latest promo released, the broadcaster has showcased a fan wall which gives fans the chance to catch the action live from the comfort of their homes and celebrate important moments with their favourite team and Heroes. To soak in the experience and be a part of the team’s biggest fixtures, fans can register on the dedicated Fan Zone on the Hero ISL website where they can stand a chance to be featured live on the stadium fan walls.

There will be two LED screens that will feature fans from the home team and the away team, thus amplifying the rivalry virtually in a bid to enhance the viewing experience. Along with this enhanced audio for the game, an additional mix of cameras and further access to the players through pre-and-post-match shows will ensure that fans remain close to all the action even beyond the field. A few select followers will also get the opportunity to interact with experts and special guests during the pre and post-match shows.
