The All India Football Federation was hurled into crisis after its top-brass decided to remove its secretary general Shaji Prabhakaran citing breach of trust. The decision appeared to be the culmination of months of disagreement happening within the executive committee over several issues related to the sports finances and administration.
According to sources, the AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey took the decision of removing Prabhakaran after consulting the executive committee members late on Tuesday.
“The All India Football Federation hereby announces that the services of Dr. Shaji Prabhakaran have been terminated due to breach of trust with immediate effect as of November 7, 2023,” the federation said in a brief release to the media. The decision is set to be ratified by the AIFF executive committee which will meet at Delhi on Thursday.
