MUMBAI: Hero Indian Super League – India’s premier football league is in its concluding stages and as the semi-finals draw nearer, Star Sports has unveiled a new campaign “Who will be the new champion” – signalling the beginning of the action-packed semi-finals and the birth of a new champion.

The film conceptualised by the in-house creative team at Star Sports, features fan favourites Sunil Chhetri, Ferran Corominas, Bartholomew Ogbeche, and Modou Sougou, among others, showcases the rampant sentiment amongst dedicated young fans as their favourite teams contend for supremacy.

Continuing the popular home and away format for the semi-finals, the team finishing first on the table will look to book a place in the final with ties on 7 and 8 March, whereas the other semi-final on 9 and 12 March will be a battle between the teams finishing 2nd and 3rd. The league stages conclude on 3 March but Bengaluru FC, FC Goa, Mumbai City FC, and NorthEast United FC having already sealed their semi-finals berth and with NorthEast United FC securing their first ever semi-finals spot.

The final of Hero Indian Super League season 2018-19 will be held in Mumbai on Sunday, 17 March. This is the second time that the city of Mumbai has been handed the rights to host the Hero ISL final after the inaugural edition in 2014, between Kerala Blasters and Atletico de Kolkata (now ATK) was held at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
