DDSIL have been successfully being organized for the last 25 years since 1982 and was started by a US Embassy Diplomat Lance Hamilton and Aashish Khanna.
The idea to hold the event was to promote friendship and social activities in between the Diplomats, Expat communities posted to India with the locals and ofcourse play some good football.
However over the number of years besides a lot of amateur players a number of very good players have also participated in the tournaments.
