PANAJI: It’s all over for Gokulam Kerala FC. Whatever little hopes the Indian Women’s League (IWL) champions had of taking part in the AFC Women’s Club Championship in Uzbekistan ended after the sports ministry, which was in talks with FIFA and AFC, told them they have to return home without taking part in the tournament.
It’s a cruel blow for the Indian champions who had landed in Taskhent on Tuesday morning, only to be greeted by the news that FIFA has banned India.
