Former Indian international footballer, Eugeneson Lyngdoh who currently serves as MLA of Meghalaya has filed his nomination, after being backed by the Meghalaya Football Association. However, the biggest news came on Friday when former India team captain Bhaichung Bhutia filed his nomination for the post.
I have filed my nominations as representative of eminent players. In the wake of the SC decision to allow players I hope the players can have a chance to serve Indian football. We want to show we can be good not only as players but also as administrators,” Bhutia told PTI.
While Baichung and Kalyan Choubey file their nominations for the AIFF Presidency, question is will these nominations be relevant anymore based on the going’s on. Will the shape of the elections and voters completely change in the next few days?
