New Delhi, April 2
The All India Football Federation is likely to impose sanctions on all the aggrieved I-League clubs for skipping the Super Cup.
Well-placed AIFF sources said a “strong case is being built” against the seven I-League clubs — Mohun Bagan, East Bengal, Churchill Brothers, Aizawl FC, Minerva FC, Gokulam FC and Neroca FC — for withdrawing from the Super Cup.
The AIFF has incurred financial losses due to the pullouts of the clubs pertaining to unfair treatment by the national body. “A strong case is being built up and it will be put at the League and Disciplinary Committee meeting on April 13. The federation will go by the regulations and guidelines,” a reliable source said.
The clubs had pulled out three days before the start of the Super Cup qualifications. As per rule 10.4 of the Super Cup regulations, the clubs could be facing heavy penalty. According to the rule, the participating clubs that withdraw from the competition after its commencement shall “be required to pay compensation for any and all damages or losses... be disqualified from taking part in the next edition of the competition from which it withdrew”. — PTI
