Panaji: Even as the launch of the franchise-based Indian Super League (ISL) has raised concerns in some quarters that the days of the I-League may be numbered, Srinivas Dempo, the owner of I-League club Dempo FC and co-owner of the ISL side FC Goa, believes that the new league can in fact benefit I-League.

"There's a tremendous amount of synergy that you can develop (between both the leagues). They can work in tandem. If we start making money in the ISL, we can largely invest it back in the I-League which is the core league of the country.
