    In their defence, BFC's foreign contingent may have wanted to see beautiful beaches, palm trees, white sand and turquoise waters.

    Unfortunately Male' is the last place to look if you wanted to see any of that. I hope they enjoyed the traffic jams, blaring motorbike horns and crammed, narrow streets. Our police are very helpful and understanding to the plight of (white) people (who look like tourists) too.

    I was under the impression that Indians were only allowed in some resort island hotels.
    What were they doing in Male city. They were aware that they are in bio bubble. cannot roam in the streets

    Indian cricket players also flouted biobubble in australia , possibly in IPL but then Football is not cricket.

    Why is he using the word "Foreign".  Any distinction between Indian and Foreign while playing for the club ?

    BFC and Eagles were both camped at Hotel Jen in Male, a stone's throw away from the Indian High Commission.

    To be fair, it was their foreign contingent who flouted the protocols. Some westerners tend to underestimate the goldfish bowl that is Male. You really can't get away with much, and news spreads like wildfire.

    BFC's owner has reportedly vowed to take disclipinary action against the guilty party.

    Lack of seriousness about AFC Cup  by various clubs.

    Abahani Club could not arrange hosting the Game.
    ATK Mohun Bagan has players scattered all around the globe. Fiji, Spain - Clearly they were not serious otherwise they could have asked Habas and Spanish players to return when Corona crisis started to impact flights. They do not want to go to Maldives either.
    BFC players flouting biobubble.

    They are just interested in playing 4 month time-pass league and earn money leave

    The current situation just looks like my final year college project, completely messed up.

    AFC should cancel AFC Cup 2021

    At this level Charter Airplane expenses, One venue hosting all the teams  and biobubble / Quarantine are not financially viable for the clubs.

    Oman clubs have withdrew from the competition due to Corona.
    Burma clubs have declined to play due to coup in their country.
    We can see what happened to Indian and Bangladesh clubs
    Maldives will be unable to host in future.
    Security issues in various west asian countries - palestine, Iraq, Syria Afghanistan etc

    Even if AFC postpone this Group stage to June, nothing is going to change

    Sounds like FAM was never interested in hosting the AFC cup and now has found the perfect excuse as well
