AIFF President Assures No Immediate Financial Burden from Recent International Friendlies
The All India Football Federation (AIFF) president Kalyan Chaubey assured members that the three recent international friendlies hosted by India, including matches against Brazil, Uruguay, and Panama, will not impose an immediate financial burden on the federation. The estimated cost of these matches is around Rs 80-85 crore, with no AIFF funds used so far. The federation highlighted challenges in hosting large events, citing the decision to opt out of the 2027 Asian Cup due to infrastructure demands. AIFF elections are scheduled for December 20, with state associations completing theirs by early November.
