PANAJI: Fresh violence in Manipur has forced the All India Football Federation (AIFF) to delay a much-awaited return of national-level club football to the north-eastern state.
Since May last year, Manipur has been rocked by violence with two rival ethnic groups at loggerheads. The violence prompted the state's clubs in the I-League, TRAU and Neroca FC, to play their home games away in Bengal due to safety concerns of visiting teams.
