With Aizawl FC needing a draw against Shillong Lajong to secure a historic I-League title on April 30, the All India Football Federation’s Integrity Officer Javed Siraj will reach Shillong a day in advance to ensure fair play.

Terming it a “routine visit”, AIFF vice-president Subrata Dutta said: “This time he’s going a day in advance.”

While there will be a lot at stake for Aizawl FC, fifth-placed Shillong Lajong will have nothing to lose or gain as they are neither in title hunt nor have relegation threat.

Aizawl beat Mohun Bagan 1-0 at home to go within sniffing distance of the I-League title in a remarkable turnaround in Indian football.
