SPORT AIFF 2 LST

Vice-President of the national body, AR Khaleel said
there were suggestions within the AIFF that reduction in the
quota of foreigners will not only increase the number of
Indian players in the I-League but will also spare money for
the clubs to spend in the infrastructure building.

"One concern is the reduced number of Indian players in
the I-League due to this five-foreigner rule. For example, who
will replace Bhaichung Bhutia or Sunil Chhetri if most of the
strikers in the I-League are foreigners?
"Secondly, most of the clubs are spending around 10 per
cent of their yearly budget on buying foreigners and not even
one per cent for infrastructure. So, by reducing the number of
foreigners the money for their buying could be used for
building facilities for the players. This is one view doing
the rounds," said Khaleel, who is also President of Karnataka
Football Association. PTI PDS
