ISL 2020-21: BFC and myFanPark partner to create exclusive experience for Indian football fans

Bengaluru, November 20: Bengaluru FC and myFanPark have announced a partnership to bring Indian football fans closer to the players during the seventh season of the Indian Super League (ISL), which is set to kick off behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The ISL 2020-21 will kick off on Friday (November 20) with defending champions ATK Mohun Bagan locking horns with Kerala Blasters FC.

While the season is set to kick off, this year the circumstances will prohibit fans from cheering for their team from the stands and players will miss engaging with fans from close quarters and travelling to various venues.

To bring the fans closers to action and make the season exciting, myFanPark has partnered with Bengaluru FC to create exclusive experiences for Indian football fans.
