Kerala Blasters Walkout: Kerala Blasters Ban: Ivan Vukomanovic Ban: Kerala Blasters will probably contest the All India Football Federation (AIFF) Disciplinary Committee’s decision to sanction them Rs 4 crore for leaving the ground and forfeiting their Indian Super League playoff game against Bengaluru FC in Bengaluru on March 3 in order to avoid the fine. The Blasters were also instructed by the AIFF Disciplinary Committee to publicly apologise for their unsportsmanlike behaviour in calling off the game; otherwise, the total fine would escalate to Rs 6 crore. Ivan Vukomanovic received a 10-match suspension. Follow Indian Super League and Indian Super Cup LIVE Updates on InsideSport.IN

Referee Crystal John eventually decided to call the game off, and the audience has slammed him for his handling of the situation. Aside from the AIFF disciplinary committee’s decision, KBFC must await word from the ISL, which has the right to apply separate sanctions under its league laws.

The All India Football Federation’s (AIFF) disciplinary committee fined Kerala Blasters Rs 6 CRORE for their walkout against Bengaluru FC after Sunil CHhetri’s dubious goal in the Indian Super League playoff game. Coach Vukomanovic has been charged separately with defaming the game and has been suspended for ten games. But, if a “public apology” is issued, the sentence will be reduced to 4 crores.
The AIFF Disciplinary Committee’s order on Friday also punished Blasters head coach Ivan Vukomanovic, who it said instigated the team’s abandonment of the match and brought the game into disrepute, with a 10-match suspension from AIFF-held tournaments, regardless of which team he is contracted with, as well as a Rs 5 lakh fine under Article 9.1.2. (of the AIFF disciplinary code). This means that Vukomanovic will be barred from entering the team’s dressing room or sitting on the team bench.

Vukomanovic has also been ordered to give a “public apology” for his misbehaviour, failing which the fine and ban will be raised to Rs 10 lakh. The disciplinary committee has given the Blasters and Vukomanovic one week to comply with this instruction. The club and the head coach, however, have the opportunity to launch an appeal against the order. The Blasters are scheduled to compete in the Super Cup, a tournament in which ISL and I-League teams will compete beginning on April 8 in Kozhikode and Manjeri.
