Indian ioa

All India Football Federation: The war of words between P.T. Usha and members of the executive committee continues unabated with both parties trading allegations and counter-allegations against each other. On Thursday, it was the turn of the Indian IOA president to fire a fresh salvo and she alleged that joint secretary Kalyan Chaubey had issued an unauthorised agenda for the Special General Meeting, SGM, scheduled for October 25.

"It has come to my attention that Kalyan Chaubey, impersonating himself as the acting CEO of IOA, has issued an agenda using official IOA stationery for a Special General Meeting (SGM) to be held on October 25 in New Delhi. This action is both illegal and in violation of the IOA Constitution," IOA chief PT Usha said in a statement.

Usha made it clear that the current and only CEO of the IOA is Raghuram lyer, who officially joined the IOA on January 15, 2024. It is another matter that the Executive Committee has not endorsed Iyer's appointment, alleging that it was a unilateral decision by Usha with 12 of the 15 members raising questions on the hefty par-package proposed by the IOA president.
