He can't. IFA cannot register him. I hope Aiff lobbies to a government PSU and get the lad a job. Or groom him for a coaching role. Unfortunate as it seems, India lost a good CB.
Even AIFF is in a very difficult situation. The safest choice is to not let him play. Otherwise, unfortunately if something happens in future, they will be held responsible too. But how can they say to a young player with this much talent and this much will power to try for a comeback, that he can't play his favourite game anymore.
The decision can easily push the lad into depression. AIFF should try something to instill a new ambition in him on a related field.
Stopping me from playing is a death sentence: Anwar Ali
Anwar Ali doesn’t know what the future has in store for him. Whether he will feature in the top-tier league, or end up
playing non-recognised tournaments to make a living.
Now, he has seen his dreams crumble in front of his eyes. His congenital heart condition -- an extremely rare form of the already uncommon Hypercardio Myopathy (HCM) -- means the AIFF medical committee needs to take a call on his playing career.
“Article 21 of the Indian Constitution guarantees me the right to earn a livelihood for myself. If I wish to take an informed risk and am ready to monitor my condition with the help of medical experts, then it is ultimately my choice, whether I wish to take the risk of playing football professionally.
Anwar Ali should not be allowed to play at any level. Punjab government should provide him a government job under sports quota. It's not wise to take a risk with such a cardiac illness.
Hopefully he will go for collegge degree and then take a coaching diploma from NIS Patiala. Become a coach and keep himself employed and connected with the sport.
There are many footballers who ended their career very early due to injuries ad became a successful coach.
