AIFF’s ‘penalty’ has been humbled
Kozhikode:Kerala Blasters women’s team temporarily suspended due to financial crisis. The All India Football Federation (AIFF) fine once morest the Blasters led to the women’s team being temporarily disbanded due to a severe financial crisis. The club itself announced this through a statement.
In the last season of Indian Super League football, Blasters came back without finishing in the play-off match once morest Bengaluru FC. The game was called off in protest once morest the referee’s decision to allow Sunil Chhetri’s free kick goal. The Federation’s disciplinary committee, which investigated the matter, imposed a fine of Rs 4 crore on Blasters. Coach Ivan Vukomanovic has been fined five lakh rupees and banned for 10 games. An appeal was filed once morest this, but yesterday the appeal committee rejected the Blasters’ complaint. He said that the fine should be paid within two weeks. With this, the club went into a big crisis.
The Blasters women’s team was formed in July last year. The club also finished third in its debut season in the Kerala Women’s Football League. There was a plan to bring the club to the top with more investment this year. For this, the club is suspending its activities while preparing for training programs including foreign pre-season. The club said in a statement that the fine imposed by the federation has affected the entire team. Although the Fed’s authority and decisions are respected, the economic impact this creates is huge. The management informed that the operation of the team has been temporarily stopped and the women’s team will be prepared when favorable decisions are taken on the matter.
AIFF for a detailed response in this regard. Not ready. The AIFF said that this is an internal matter for the team and everyone should abide by the federation’s decision. Secretary General Shaji Prabhakaran said.
