Sam Turkbas, the EA SPORTS FIFA Esports Commissioner, stated, "We are thrilled to welcome eISL back to EA SPORTS FIFA Global Series this season." The eISL event, with its fierce rivalry raising community participation on all levels, "embodies the finest of Indian football and Esports." We are thrilled to host the second edition of the eISL for the FSDL, according to Akshat Rathee, MD and Co-Founder of NODWIN Gaming. Organizing the Esports version of football is exciting for us since it is a sport that people all around the globe fervently adore and follow. Even more so considering that the series' victors will have the once-in-a-lifetime chance to compete in the FIFA Global Series Play-in competition.

The season, which ran concurrently with the 2021–22 Hero ISL season, was a thrilling and interesting competition for football and Esports fans, with over 2,000 participants fighting for a spot in the first season.

Early this year, FSDL and the top German international football league, Deutsche Fu12ball Liga, inked a Memorandum of Understanding (DFL). The FSDL-DFL MoU heavily emphasises using cutting-edge technology and innovation, with football Esports as a primary area of attention. It also focuses on many areas of cooperation, potential club initiatives, and the sharing of fan interaction experiences. The collaboration is evidence of FSDL's efforts and its rising worldwide significance.
The Esports business has been expanding quickly with an ongoing rise in the number of teams and players. The number of Esports players quadrupled from 300,000 in 2020 to 600,000 in 2021, and Esports teams increased by over 50% from 60,000 in 2020 to 100,000 in 2021, according to the FICCI-EY Media and Entertainment Report 2022. Esports income increased by 29% from INR 7.5 billion in 2020 to INR 9.7 billion in 2021 due to the surge in participation. The second eISL season confirms FSDL's intention to invest in the expanding Indian esports market.
