The Aiff recently constituted a core committee that will manage certain areas of the game in close collaboration with its Secretary General Shaji Prabhakaran.
The areas are: Procurement and tendering; budget and financials; infrastructure, office renovation and new project development; new staff recruitment or old staff release; and NFC and club football organisational decisions.
In a free-flowing chat with Ians, Bhaichung (46), the once poster boy of Indian football, shared his views on the issues concerning the sport in the country, particularly the ‘mess’ in the game’s governing body.
"It’s a free-for-all in Aiff. What the President (Kalyan Chaubey) is doing, what the Secretary General is doing… There is no communication between each other.
"The way Aiff is being run, I would say it is in a complete mess. You have President Kalyan Chaubey bypassing several state associations and holding tournaments without taking them into confidence.
"We saw that happen in Manipur,...

Panchkula, March 13 (Ians) Already crowned champions a week ago, RoundGlass Punjab ended the I-League season in style with yet another convincing 2-0 victory over Trau Fc here at the Tau Devi Lal Stadium.
Staikos Vergetis’s men finished with 52 points from 22 matches, becoming the first champion side to cross the 50-point mark since Churchill Brothers in 2012-13.
Aiff president Kalyan Chaubey presented the prizes in a simple ceremony. Aiff Executive Committee Member and Aiff Futsal Committee chairman Vijay Bali was also present.
The icing on the cake for RoundGlass Punjab was Slovenian forward Luka Majcen’s brace on the night, which allowed him to surpass David Castaneda’s tally and win the Golden Boot with 16 goals.
Tiddim Road Athletic Union (Trau) knew before kick-off that they would finish fourth even if they manage to beat this season’s I-League champions, as Gokulam Kerala cemented third place by beating Sreenidi Deccan earlier in the day.

New Delhi, Aug 27 (Ians) A day after getting relief from the international body (FIFA), the All Indian Football Federation (Aiff) on Saturday released a final list of candidates who filed their nominations for the elections, scheduled to take place on September 2.
With the contest pitting Kalyan Chaubey, a former national footballer who is currently a member of the West Bengal State Bjp, against the poster boy of Indian football, Bhaichung Bhutia — the most-capped footballer after Sunil Chhetri and the first Indian to play 100 international matches, it’s a no-brainer that a former footballer will be at the helm of affairs in a national body hitherto ruled by politicians and businessmen.
The list is almost the same as that shared by Ians earlier. However, the new entry is of Manvendra Singh (Rajasthan association chief) for the vice-president post and Gopalkishna Kosaraju (Andhra president) for treasurer.
List:
President: Bhaichung Bhutia, Kalyan Chaubey
Vice-president: Na Haris,...

It seems that Bjp and Congress have joined hands to run the Aiff as Kalyan Chaubey from Bjp and Na Haris from Congress have reached an agreement for the post of president and vice-president posts.
Sources said that once the executive committee is elected, the Delhi Football’s president Saji Prabhakaran is expected to take over as the General Secretary of Aiff.
"The decision has been taken in a Delhi hotel, on yesterday evening that the State Associations will nominate the candidates unanimously and elect them without contest," he said.
On Wednesday, the state associations had called a press conference but postponed it due to unavoidable reasons. The sources told Ians that the reason behind the postponement of press meet was disagreement on the few names. But now it has been decided that both Chaubey and Haris will be elected unanimously.
According to the sources, the 14 executive committee members will be: Avijit Paul -Orissa,...
