He's no longer a Vice-President of the AIFF as he is over 70 yrs old ( closer to 90 !!) and had served 2 consecutive terms in office.....so in order to follow the rules of the new Sports Code, he wasn't allowed to contest....
instead an equally old Mather from Kerela took his post.....
if that wasn't daft enough..A.R Khaleel is the Head of the i_league committee !!!!

Either way. The man is still part of the AIFF and its sad considering he can't do shit in Karnataka. The fact that their league is full of 11 teams, only 1 being city named, another being Academy and the rest either corporates or Army teams. Its disgusting really.
However I do see the hardships in what a revamp would be like but something has to be done.
stadium land, land supposed to be used for football stadium or just next to the stadium is leased to builders. Thats why I am wary of proximity of Real Estate companies in Indian Football. Every city master plan has land earmarked for sports purposes. real estate interest is after such land which they can convert by hook or by crook into commercial purposes.

There are corruption allegations against Karnataka Football Association.
