AIFF Members Oppose Kalyan Chaubey's Proposal to Liquidate Fixed Deposit for Deficit
The All India Football Federation (AIFF) faces a potential deficit of Rs 80-85 crore after hosting international friendlies against Brazil, Uruguay, and Panama. President Kalyan Chaubey proposed liquidating the federation's fixed deposit (FD) to cover the shortfall, but members opposed the plan during a Special General Body Meeting, citing an Executive Committee decision to preserve the FD except for emergencies. Chaubey offered to arrange external funds to replenish any withdrawn amount. The exact deficit remains undisclosed due to confidentiality clauses.
