AIFF Members Oppose Proposal to Use Fixed Deposit for International Friendlies Deficit
The All India Football Federation (AIFF) faces a potential Rs 80-85 crore deficit after hosting international friendlies against Brazil, Uruguay, and Panama. AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey proposed liquidating the federation's fixed deposit (FD) to cover the shortfall but faced opposition from members during a Special General Body Meeting. Members, including Vice President NA Haris, cited an Executive Committee decision against using the FD except in emergencies. Chaubey offered to arrange external funds to replenish any withdrawn amount, though the exact deficit remains undisclosed due to confidentiality clauses.
