New Delhi, August 30: Eight candidates for the vacant post of All India Football Federation General Secretary and five contenders for the I-League Chief Executive Officer will be called for interview either on September 23 or 24.
This decision was taken at an AIFF Executive Committee meeting under the chairmanship of its acting President Praful Patel here today.
Ten candidates for the post of AIFF General Secretary and five for the I-League CEO had been shortlisted by the Emergency Committee last month.
“Eight out of the 10 shortlisted for General Secretary’s post and all the five for the I-League CEO have confirmed their intention to work for the two posts, so they will be called for interview either on September 23 or 24,” outgoing General Secretary Alberto Colaco told reporters after the Executive Committee meeting.
The AIFF Executive Committee also decided to start the third edition of the I-League from the first week of October while the Federation Cup will be held in Assam between December 15 and 31.
The qualifiers for the Federation Cup will be held in October while Goa will host the Santosh Trophy though the dates will be decided later.
A resolution was passed by the Executive Committee thanking Indian Cricket Board for granting Rs 25 crore to the AIFF to be given in two installments in two years.
