The world governing body FIFA has send an official letter to the All India Football Federation (AIFF) and the I-League following media reports and communication from six of the I-League clubs.
FIFA in the letter has sought an update from the AIFF to the degree of implementation of the joint FIFA and AFC report that was prepared in 2018.
This report was made after conclusive research by a combined duo of Nic Coward (FIFA) and Alex Philips (AFC) taking personal interviews with every major stakeholder in Indian Football. The duo were specially flown in to India to conduct intensive interviews with the major clubs and stakeholders in India to discuss on each and every issue the owners have in Indian Football.
The purpose of this report back in 2018 was to provide the AIFF with external expertise, a clear roadmap to establish a unified league and implement a widely-supported strategy for the development of football in India.
In this letter, FIFA CMAO Joyce Cook also confirms that they have been recently contacted by various top level football clubs from India in view of the ongoing situation in Indian Football and seeks acknowledgement on the development on the potentially unified “Indian Football League”.
It will be interesting to see what happens next in this ongoing saga…
