 "ISL 7: Rs 17 crore spent on 'Covid testing and other related costs'")
The seventh edition of the Indian Super League (ISL) came to a close with Mumbai City FC crowned champions. The season, which marked the return of major sports events in India, had a mega journey amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a release, the league said an estimated amount of Rs 17 crore was spent on "COVID testing and other related costs".
As many as 115 games were played in the recently-concluded season of the ISL among the 11 teams. During the season, a total of 298 goals were scored.
Keeping in the mind the safety of everyone involved, 18 bio-bubbles were created across 14 hotels. The number of people tested by RT-PCR was 1635. The total number of tests done during the season is approximately 70,000.
Mumbai City FC won the title on Saturday after defeating ATK Mohun Bagan 2-1 in the final.
