Participate in the AFC for all stakeholders meeting in East Bengal, Bagh

Kolkata, June 3: On June 7, all the participants of the Asian Football Confederation (AFFC) headquarters in Kuala Lumpur were participated by members of East Bengal and Mohan Bagan. "We will be attending the AFC meeting next Wednesday. It will send a wrong signal if we don't," Mohun Bagan assistant general secretary Srinjoy Bose told reporters here after a meeting with East Bengal club officials and Indian Football Association (IFA), Bengal's parent body.

"I have told them to make a list of their demands and be precise in their presentation in the AFC meeting as time will be at a premium," IFA secretary Utpal Ganguli said. Mohun Bagan, in a statement, said finance secretary Debasish Dutta will attend the conference. A meeting with all stakeholders will be held under the guidance of the AFC to discuss the roadmap for the growth of Indian football. AFC general secretary Dato' Windsor John had come to India recently and after extensive discussions with All India Football Federation (AIFF) counterpart Kushal Das about the future of the sport in the country had agreed on the meeting.

The meeting, which will be chaired by the AFC General Secretary, will be attended by the AFC directors, senior representatives from FIFA, as well as senior representatives from the Indian sports ministry. Earlier, two clubs had joined hands with the management of Indian Super League (ISL) for their football revolutions against Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) and threatened to exclude the franchise fees and disturb the ISL if the money from the central pool had their demands.
