For example, a president can have three consecutive terms without a break according to the Sports Code, but CoA has put it down to two and then a mandatory cooling off period of at least four years. States have also pointed out several ‘contradictions’ to the Sports Code. The final draft constitution has no provision for any vice president among the 12 members which includes president, treasurer, five members and five players. “States want the AIFF executive committee to have five vice presidents representing each zone, while should be nominated, and not elected, depending on the (eligibility) list,” said another official.
States want ‘Eminent’ players to have played 15 competitive matches sanctioned by FIFA/AFC. The CoA defines ‘Eminent’ player as a former footballer, male or female, who has retired for at least two years, and has represented India at the senior level in at least one game.
FINAL DRAFT DEFINITION CODE
But this draft constitution has several clauses which not just go beyond the Sports Code but are also contradictory,” a senior member of the committee told TOI on Sunday.Īccording to sources, state associations want each member to have only one vote while making it clear that ‘Eminent’ players cannot be represented as state delegates at the general body or get elected to the AIFF executive committee. We don’t have any issues with any of the FIFA statute.
“We have always said that none of the state associations have any problem with the Sports Code being implemented in totality. The associations, represented by a seven-member committee, have listed 22 objections which will now be taken up by the Supreme Court when the case comes up for hearing on Thursday. The final draft constitution prepared by the Supreme Court-appointed CoA, now running the All India Football Federation (AIFF), was sent to state associations last week. PANAJI: State associations have written to FIFA, the governing body for world football, and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) that several clauses in the final draft constitution prepared by the Committee of Administrators (CoA) are discriminatory, illogical and contradictory to the National Sports Code.
