AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey On Indian Strikers' Rule Change In ISL: "Stakeholders..."
All India Football Federation (AIFF) president Kalyan Chaubey on Friday admitted that the national team has been struggling to win matches of late after it faced backlash following the 0-1 shock loss to Hong Kong in the AFC Asian Cup qualifying round match. The defeat left India in a precarious position in its bid to qualify for the continental showpiece for the third time in a row. Addressing a press conference here, Chaubey alluded to lack of goals from the Indian strikers, which he said could be one of the reasons for the poor show by the team under Manolo Marquez. He said the stakeholders will discuss on how to increase the number of Indians playing as strikers in domestic clubs. "For any sport to grow in popularity, it is essential for the national team to perform well. It's true that our national team has struggled to secure wins against teams such as Malaysia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Thailand and Hong Kong. However, it's unrealistic to expect wins without scoring goals," Chaubey said. "This clearly highlights the lack of goal-scoring abilities and shortage of effective Indian strikers. A practical, collective decision is urgently required to increase match-time for the Indian strikers. "But how can this be achieved, this calls for a joint discussion among all the stakeholders, to develop a viable and collective roadmap. One possible measure could be the gradual reduction in the number of foreign players allowed in the domestic league thereby allowing more space for positive Indian strikers.. The issue of very few Indians playing as strikers in the Indian Super League -- from which most of the national team players are selected -- has been debated and brought to notice by successive coaches and former players. Asked if the restriction in the number of foreigners in the ISL teams can be implemented from the upcoming season, Chaubey, however, said the AIFF cannot force a decision on the stakeholders. "All the stakeholders will have to decided collectively. The AIFF cannot take the decision alone.. Chaubey was also not forthcoming on the speculation that incumbent head coach is on his way out after the 0-1 defeat to Hong Kong. "Manolo is one of the longest serving foreign coaches in Indian football. Over the past six years, he has managed multiple Indian clubs and secured trophies, including the Super Cup and the ISL Cup. "He understands Indian football, including the strength and weakness of the Indian players, as well as the opportunities and challenges within the Indian football ecosystem. He is better compared to others.. On whether Marquez will continue or not, Chaubey said, "We have an executive committee meeting on June 29. We will discuss this matter internally among the committee members and we will also take the opinion of the members of the AIFF Technical Committee also.. A presentation was also made on the winning percentages and number of goals of the national team under Stephen Constantine, Igor Stimac and Marquez. Under Constantine, the goals scored were 1.64 per match and win percentage of 57. The corresponding figures for Stimac is 1.01 and 35. Marquez's stint so far scored the lowest of 0.75 goals per game and win percentage of just 13. According to the presentation, none of the Indian strikers under the three head coaches got regular minutes as centre forward in their clubs. After playing with the clubs, they have to play in different positions while turning up for the national team. "It is very difficult for a player to play 11 months to play in a particular position and three days later while playing for the national team shifted to another position. I think Indian football is lacking there. "We have not generated positive strikers in the last 10 years. We obviously appreciate Sunil Chhetri's effort of being so sincere, dedicated and fit at the age of 40, but as a nation we also need to see the supply of more forwards. Chaubey also re-iterated India's bid to host the 2031 AFC Asian Cup. In April, the AIFF had announced that it has submitted the country's 'Expression of Interest (EoI)' to host the 2031 Asian Cup before the deadline of March 31. . AIFF has contacted OCI player. ======================= Currently, only Indian passport-holders can represent the country, but the sports ministry has recently indicated that it is willing to review a 2008 policy. "We formed a task force on this matter in August 2023 and thereafter we had several meetings. We have contacted 33 OCI players across the world," Chaubey said. "AIFF is aligned with the law of the land, but it is actively involved in securing OCI players. Many countries ranked below India have adopted the policy to allow naturalised citizens. We have discussed how countries like Hong Kong, Indonesia and Bangladesh doing well (because of naturalised players).. Elaborating further, he said, "It's a process, a systematic change is not possible. In 2008, OCI players were barred from playing for India. Our coaches had said what if India allows OCI players to play for the country. The previous regime also tried and they could not do it. Perhaps the situation was different." "I am also trying, taking it forward. But even if there is a list of 300 OCI players, they have to be eligible to play for India. Only then, the role of technical committee come in. "To make matter simple, we have made a list of such players and when we get the OCI card we will give to them and select them by sitting with the head coach." PTI PDS KHS PDS KHS

RJ Mahvash Blushes As Paps Tease Her About Yuzvendra Chahal: 'Bhai Kaise Hain?'
Last Updated: The dating rumours between Mahvash and Chahal began earlier this year when the cricketer was reportedly navigating his divorce with Dhanashree Verma. Rumours linking RJ Mahvash to cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal have been swirling for months, and their recent public interactions continue to fuel speculation. Though neither of them has officially confirmed the relationship, frequent appearances together and affectionate gestures on social media have kept fans guessing. In the latest development, RJ Mahvash was caught on camera by paparazzi while stepping into a lift. As soon as they spotted her, the paps cheekily asked, 'Bhai kaise hain?" – a clear nod to Chahal. Caught off guard, Mahvash couldn't help but blush and flash a shy smile, which instantly went viral online. Her adorable reaction has further amplified buzz around her connection with the Indian spinner. Mahvash, who is also a popular influencer, added to the lighthearted mood of the day by posting an Instagram story on June 13. Sitting in her office looking lost in thought, she wrote, 'Office aa gayi hu, kaam kese shuru karu weekend pe ye soch rahi hu?" Fans were quick to connect the dots, wondering if Chahal might be the reason behind the weekend hangover. The dating rumours between Mahvash and Chahal began earlier this year when the cricketer was reportedly navigating his divorce with Dhanashree Verma. Mahvash was spotted attending several of Chahal's matches and supporting him online — especially after his team fell short in IPL 2025. She penned heartfelt notes praising his dedication, further strengthening the whispers of a possible romance. Yuzvendra, too, has returned the support, regularly commenting on Mahvash's posts and encouraging her cheerleader-like presence on social media. Their social media banter has become a fan favorite, with many convinced that there's more than just friendship between the two. On the professional front, Mahvash recently ventured into acting with her debut in the series Pyar Paisa Profit, co-starring Mihir Ahuja. The show, based on Durjoy Datta's novel Now That You're Rich… Let's Fall In Love, also features Pratik Yadav, Neil Bhoopalam, Nitish Sharma, Shivangi Khedkar, and Ashish Raghav. The series is currently available for streaming on Amazon MX Player. First Published: June 14, 2025, 00:12 IST

Unrealistic to expect wins without scoring goals, says AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey
Manolo Marquez (left) took over as full-time coach only on June 1 after a dual role shared with FC Goa, has informed the AIFF that he does not want to continue The All India Football Federation (AIFF) is expected to start the hunt for a new coach once its Technical Committee and Executive Committee approves mutual termination of Manolo Marquez's contract at its meeting on June 29. Manolo, who took over as full-time coach only on June 1 after a dual role shared with FC Goa, has informed the federation that he does not want to continue with national team duties. According to sources, the contract can be terminated only if both parties agree. 'We have an Executive Committee meeting on June 29, where we will take a call (on Manolo's future),' AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey told reporters in the Capital on Friday. 'Manolo Marquez is one of the longest serving foreign coaches in Indian football. Over the years, he has managed multiple clubs and won trophies, including ISL trophy and Super Cup. Compared to others, his understanding of Indian football, including strengths, weakness of Indians, as well as opportunities and challenges within the Indian ecosystem is better. ' Under Manolo, India have won just once – against lowly Maldives at home – in eight matches but even more worryingly, failed to score in the last three matches. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรดทองCFDsกับโบรกเกอร์ที่เชื่อถือได้| เปิดบัญชีวันนี้ IC Markets สมัคร Undo This includes a home draw against Bangladesh and away defeats to Thailand and Hong Kong. Goal-scoring has been a consistent problem and reflects in the mere seven goals that the team has scored in 15 matches since January 2024. India have also not won a competitive game since November 2023. 'It is unrealistic to expect wins without scoring goals. There has been a steady decline in goals being scored from 1.64 (in 2015) to 0.75 currently. While we appreciate Sunil Chhetri's efforts at 40, as a nation, we also need to ensure there's supply of more forwards in a systematic manner. It's difficult for a player who has played the supporting role in the club for 11 months, to shift to the number nine role (for international matches). We don't have positive strikers in the last 10 years,' said Chaubey. Only Chhetri, India's highest goalscorer, has been a constant feature in the starting lineups of the last four national team coaches: Bob Houghton, Stephen Constantine, Igor Stimac and Manolo Marquez. The AIFF is hoping it can solve the striking woes and overcome India's wretched run of form, with the inclusion of OCI players. Chaubey said his office has contacted 33 footballers from across the world, some of whom already have the Overseas Citizen of India card, while others are being assisted by the federation. 'Several countries ranked below India in FIFA ranking have adopted the policy of allowing naturalised players,' said Chaubey. 'This strategic move has contributed to their positive performances and better global standing. AIFF has proactively initiated communication with relevant departments regarding inclusion of OCI players. The initial response has been encouraging but we are fully aware that such changes do not happen overnight. 'Like all sports federations (in India), AIFF is committed to aligning with the laws of the land. Under FIFA's framework and regulations, we are also actively exploring the possibility of securing approval for the inclusion of OCI players.'
