Kerala Blasters Ban: Kerala Blasters Punishment: Kerala Blasters’ walkout against Bengaluru FC over Sunil CHhetri’s contentious goal in the Indian Super League knockout game is likely to result in a punishment of Rs 5 crore from the All India Football Federation’s (AIFF) disciplinary committee. For defaming the game, coach Vukomanovic has been charged separately. The committee has not yet made a conclusion. The club is however going to continue with the preparation for the Super Cup.

Bengaluru took the lead in the opening half of extra time thanks to Sunil Chhetri’s fast free kick, but the Blasters’ camp erupted in rage at that contentious goal. Following that, coach Ivan Vukomanovic escorted his team off the pitch and insisted on leaving despite demands from referees and officials to do so. Referee Crystal John ultimately decided to call off the game, and the crowd have since harshly criticised him for how he handled the situation.

Due to a violation of Article 58 of the AIFF disciplinary code, the club was reported to the disciplinary committee. According to the code, the punishment for such an offence is a fine of at least Rs 6 lakh, disqualification from an ongoing competition, and/or expulsion from future competition.
Besides the AIFF disciplinary committee decision, KBFC will have to wait to hear from the ISL, which can impose separate sanctions as per its league rules.

The committee believed that Blasters had no need to stop playing. The club also did nothing to persuade Vukomanovic to rethink his choice given that it took 20 minutes from the time Blasters left the pitch until the game was abandoned. Blasters will be permitted to file an appeal no matter what penalties the AIFF imposes.
Blasters will have to wait to hear from the ISL, which has the authority to inflict different sanctions, in addition to the AIFF disciplinary committee’s decision. Depending on the seriousness of the occurrence, the club is“liable for an additional financial sanction deduction of points and/or suspension by the League from taking any further part in the ISL, depending on the gravity of the incident.”
