FOOTBALL | AIFF & AFC secretaries meet TFA and CFA stakeholders to discuss ways to develop the sport

The Asian Football Confederation secretary Datuk Seri Windsor John and All India Football Federation (AIFF) secretary Shaji Prabhakaran recently met a few stakeholders of Tamil Nadu and Chennai football to discuss the way forward for the sport in the State.

Due to the legal tussle between Tamil Nadu Football Association (TFA) and Chennai Football Association (CFA) there has been a deadlock in the conduct of the sport in the city. CFA leagues including the popular senior division league have not been held for the last six years.

Speaking to The Hindu here on Thursday, Shaji said: “We discussed with lots of people on how to resolve several issues. The meeting was good. We shared on the way forward for football in the State.” Regarding ways to resolve the legal battle between TFA and CFA, Shaji said: “We have to wait till the Court delivers its verdict.”
