Indian football is now moving in a new situation where the black shadow that affected it has been lifted. FIFA’s decision to lift the ban on Indian football came as a sigh of relief to thousands of players. This decision made the matches including the ISL and major tournaments including the Asia Cup in tri-sangha heaven. Gokulam Kerala suffered the biggest loss due to the 11-day ban. The ban came into effect when they came to play in Uzbekistan. AIFF apologized to Gokulam, who was suspended due to the ban.
But the heartache felt by the players is immense. Let’s not forget that it was the mismanagement of the association that cast a shadow over the future of the players. The 26-member team of Kerala Blasters, who came to the UAE for the pre-season matches, has been abroad since the last 16. Due to the ban on competition with foreign teams, the competition could not be held in the UAE. The ban was lifted when the group led by Ivan Vukanović was thought to be at a heavy loss. Practicing on the grounds there is also good. The coach responded that he will discuss the friendly match with UAE in the coming days.
