Earlier, the Indian national team was added to the FIFA roster by EA back in 2012 in their FIFA 13 edition, which was a pleasant surprise for Indian fans.

Electronic Arts will have all the legal rights of the ISL which will include the club crests, realistic player models and stadiums. In exchange, the league will get monetary benefits from EA. Depending on the success of the league in their mobile edition this year, it will be introduced in the game's editions for desktops and also on all other platforms, including Xbox and Sony Play Station in future editions.

The move will definitely excite the Indian football fans who have been requesting Electronic Arts to add the domestic league to the FIFA roster. Now, their wish has been granted and this should lead to a huge spike in the game's sales in the country. The move will also enable the league to expand its burgeoning fan base in global markets.
