The All India Football Federation’s (AIFF) decision to charter a plane for the men’s national team three days before its annual general meeting has been hailed as a game-changer. AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey’s assurance to head coach Igor Stimac of a “no-compromise stand” has lifted spirits within the team.
The move comes amidst allegations of financial foul play and cronyism made by a former legal head of AIFF. However, Chaubey has denied these allegations, writing to his executive committee to address the concerns.
The decision to charter a plane for the team’s World Cup qualifier against Afghanistan on March 21 is a significant step towards improving the team’s performance. By flying directly to Abha in Saudi Arabia, the team will avoid the fatigue and potential injuries associated with multiple layovers.
This move demonstrates the AIFF’s commitment to providing the best possible support to the national team. It is a clear indication that the federation is determined to create an environment where the team can thrive and achieve success.
The team’s performance in recent months has been mixed. They have shown flashes of brilliance, but have also struggled to maintain consistency. The decision to charter a plane is a sign that the AIFF is taking steps to address these issues and help the team reach its full potential.
The team’s upcoming World Cup qualifier against Afghanistan is a crucial match. A win would boost their chances of qualifying for the next round of the competition. The AIFF’s decision to charter a plane is a clear indication that they are determined to give the team the best possible chance of success.
