Panaji: Indian football is set for an administrative upheaval as the draft constitution of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) prepared by the Supreme Court appointed ombudsmen suggests sweeping changes.SY Quraishi, the Supreme Court appointed ombudsmen for the AIFF, finished conducting elections to the Archery Association of India (AAI) and has now turned his attention to the AIFF. The former chief election commissioner of India and former India football captain Bhaskar Ganguly were appointed by the Supreme Court last year, and they are now almost ready with the constitution.“The constitution is getting ready. We have invited comments from certain people, from the federation and others. Comments have now been received and we are examining them. We will take a final call soon,” Quraishi told TOI on Wednesday.Quraishi had stunned the sporting fraternity in India with his conduct of elections to the AAI. He made significant changes to the constitution, basing his recommendations on those made by Justice RM Lodha in the BCCI case and the national sports code.One major development was that politicians and public servants could no longer hold positions in a sports federation and Quraishi is set to continue with the same trend in football. The AIFF is led by NCP leader and Rajya Sabha member Praful Patel.“If you have seen the archery constitution, broadly the same principle will apply. But we will see what kind of comments have been received (from the stakeholders). There are some issues specific to certain games. So, we will see whether those concerns have been accommodated adequately,” said Quraishi.Asked specifically if politicians would be barred from holding positions in the AIFF, Quraishi pointed at the Supreme Court’s BCCI judgment.“The broad principle will continue because that principle is borrowed from the BCCI judgment of the Supreme Court. Our understanding is that what Supreme Court says becomes the law of the land. Obviously, you cannot go against that,” said Quraishi.Apart from politicians and public servants being debarred, the AIFF, according to insiders, have also raised objection to suggestions that they cannot employ those above the age of 60 and vice-presidents would now be considered as office-bearers. There is also considerable opposition to former footballer being handed a direct spot in the executive committee.“Quraishi was kind enough to send us the draft constitution for our comments. We have replied, and the matter is now with him. Our major concern was that there is individual membership to the general body (in the draft constitution) which is not acceptable as per the FIFA constitution or AFC for that matter.“Other than that, we have said we will abide completely by the Sports Code. We have pointed out certain differences between the Sports Code and the suggestions (by Quraishi),” said AIFF general secretary Kushal Das.Quraishi was appointed in November last year following a Supreme Court order that stayed the Delhi high court order on Praful Patel's election as the AIFF president.“Within a couple of weeks, we should be able to submit the constitution,” said Quraishi.Once Quraishi submits the constitution in a sealed envelope, the Supreme Court will decide if fresh elections are needed.
