No meeting between IMG-R,club representatives

A meeting between representatives of I-League Professional Football Clubs Association and IMG-R,the commercial partners of All India Football Federation,did not take place today

A meeting between representatives of I-League Professional Football Clubs Association and IMG-R,the commercial partners of All India Football Federation,did not take place today with the company maintaining that it cannot meet an entity not recognised by the Federation.

AIFF General Secretary Kushal Das had written to Salgaocar Secretary Raj Gomes and Pune FC Head Operations Chirag Tanna saying he has been informed by IMG-R to contact them 8220;to set up a meeting in Mumbai of club representatives to discuss and agree on players loan/transfer issues so that both I-League 2013-2014 and the proposed new tournament can be conducted smoothly8221;.

In response to that,the club representatives under the umbrella of IPFCA in a meeting in Mumbai yesterday,had proposed an interaction with IMG-Reliance. But an IMG-R source said that Das had written to Gomes and Tanna for a meeting with only the representatives of their respective two clubs and not with IPFCA representatives.

8220;AIFF,in its letter last week,had asked three club officials from Salgaocar,Pune FC and East Bengal to meet IMG-R and not the so called club association. The IPFCA is not recognised by AIFF and as far as I understand it is not even registered under Society Act 1980. That is the real reason why IMG-R were advised not to attend the meeting called by this body. We are ready to meet the clubs separately but not under the umbrella of IPFCA,8221; the source said. 8220;They IMG-R need to present the plans to the AIFF Exco Meeting scheduled on August 1 and then they will come to us,8221; he said.
