The domestic structure has evolved through tournaments such as the National Football League (1996–2007), the I-League (from 2007) and the Indian Super League (from 2014). Players from across India, including in regions with strong footballing traditions such as West Bengal, Goa, Kerala, Manipur, Mizoram and Sikkim, compete within these competitions and feeder state leagues.
