Ambani is also the founder and chairperson of Football Sports Development. Designed by Frazer And Haws, the ISL trophy stands 26 inches tall.
The logo on the top band has the ISL colours assigned to it and the handles are ornately carved and embellished with 24k gold gilt to imbue a sense of pride when held up.
Speaking on the occasion, Ambani said, "It-s a momentous day for all of us today as I stand along with the world-s footballing legends to unveil the pride of Indian Super League.
"As these role models have inspired hundreds of thousands of players worldwide, I am sure the ISL trophy will also stand as a symbol of aspiration for many youngsters in an emergent India."
