Any specific reasons given for cancellation of US trip? Anyways it was a far-fetched idea. AIFF can always arrange a Friendly in India on FIFA match dates. Will their masters allow it?
US tour was scheduled for later during FIFA match day window probably within the ISL time. FSDL persuaded AIFF to prepone the tour. Now problem in arranging visa for all the players withing short time. Many opponents are also not agreeing in this short notice. We were supposed to play one or two country also. They are not agreeing for any unofficial friendly. Just to show off that we are playing a foreign country the team in going to Bhutan or SL.
Well in that case you have to wonder what the AIFF were doing. I understand the ISL being a hinderance to the national team but this tour should have always been an August thing if anything, not September and beyond. Now look, they were forced back and then forced back again due to visa issues. This is our national football federation guys!
