AIFF asks Churchill Brothers to return trophy

AIFF asks Churchill Brothers to return trophy

Published by Webster

The All India Football Federation asked Churchill Brothers to return the 2024-25 I-League trophy that it presented to the club despite a stay order by the Court of Arbitration of Sport on Monday. The national federation had handed out the trophy to the Goa-based club just hours after the CAS issued a stay order on Sunday. The AIFF later claimed that they learned about the stay order only after the trophy was presented to Churchill Brothers as its secretariat was closed on Sunday. “On Monday, we have written to Churchill Brothers to return the I-League trophy,” an AIFF official said, as per PTI. “We are bound to obey CAS order. Let the CAS decide on the matter, and we will hand over the trophy after the decision.” Earlier, Inter Kashi had approached the CAS after AIFF Appeals committee crowned Churchill Brothers as the 2024-25 I-League champions, setting aside the AIFF Disciplinary Committee’s order which had handed Inter Kashi three forfeit points after their opponents Namdhari FC fielded an ineligible player during their clash.

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) went ahead and crowned Churchill Brothers as the 2024–25 I-League champions on Sunday, just hours after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) issued a stay order prohibiting the medal ceremony. Churchill Brothers received the trophy at a private event in South Goa, where AIFF Deputy Secretary General M Satyanarayan handed it over to club owner Alemao Churchill. This happened despite CAS explicitly directing the federation not to organise any medal presentation or announce a winner until Inter Kashi’s appeal was resolved. Earlier in the day, CAS granted Inter Kashi’s request for provisional measures, putting a freeze on the AIFF Appeals Committee’s April 18 decision that had confirmed Churchill Brothers as champions. The Swiss-based court ordered that “the All India Football Federation is not to declare the winner of the I-League 2024-25 or conduct a medal ceremony” until the arbitration is concluded. The respondents — AIFF, Churchill Brothers, and Namdhari FC — were given until April 29 to file their replies. However, the AIFF defended its move by claiming …

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which is the top court to adjudicate sports disputes internationally, has asked the All India Football Federation to hold off on declaring Churchill Brothers as the I-League champions. The CAS stayed the AIFF’s decision while hearing an appeal from Inter Kashi. A ruling from the Deputy President of the CAS Appeals Arbitration Division Sport stated: “The All India Football Federation is ordered not to declare the winner of the I-League 2024/2025 or organise a medal ceremony for the I-League 2024-25 until the present arbitration has been concluded.” The dispute was born because in an I League game, Kashi’s opponents Namdhari FC reportedly fielded an ineligible player against the club. At the end of the season, Inter Kashi and Churchill Brothers found themselves in a limbo in the points table. Churchill were on top of the standings with 40 points after 22 rounds, while Inter Kashi had 39. The I League winner secures an entry into the ISL. But Inter Kashi appealed the final standings to AIFF, whose Appeals …

After weeks of uncertainty and drama, Churchill Brothers, the provisional I-League leaders, was adjudged champions for the 2024-25 season by the Appeals Committee of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Saturday. The AIFF confirmation of the Goan club’s title triumph, however, is unlikely to bring closure to one of the most turbulent seasons in Indian domestic football as Inter Kashi, the other claimant to the second-tier title, announcing their intention to approach the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) following the Appeals Committee’s decision. The championship outcome had been uncertain due to a dispute involving Inter Kashi, the newly-formed club who finished second in the league but were contesting the result of their match against Namdhari FC (which they lost 2-0), alleging that the opposition fielded an ineligible player – Brazilian midfielder Cledson C Silva. Story continues below this ad The AIFF initially formed a disciplinary committee to investigate the matter, and the initial ruling awarded a 3-0 win to Inter Kashi which would have taken them two points clear of Churchill Brothers and …

Churchill Brothers named I-League 2024–25 Champions

Published by Webster

Ending weeks of chaos and controversy, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Friday officially declared Churchill Brothers as the champions of the I-League 2024–25 season, securing their long-awaited promotion to the Indian Super League (ISL). The decision brings closure to one of the most dramatic and contentious I-League seasons in recent memory. Churchill Brothers had finished top of the table with 40 points following a 1-1 draw against Real Kashmir on the final matchday. However, their status as champions remained in limbo due to an unresolved disciplinary issue involving fellow title challengers Inter Kashi. The controversy centered around a previous AIFF ruling that awarded Inter Kashi three points after Namdhari FC were found guilty of fielding an ineligible player. Namdhari appealed this suspension, stating they were not given a fair opportunity to contest the referee’s decision — a violation of the principle of natural justice. The AIFF Appeals Committee, in its reasoning, agreed that proper communication and rebuttal time were not given. As a result, the committee partially lifted the suspension, allowing the player …

Churchill Brothers have withdrawn from the Super Cup tournament starting April 20 in Bhubaneswar, protesting against the All India Football Federation’s (AIFF) decision to not officially declare them as 2024-25 I-League champions, calling it a “blatant disregard of rules and precedent” by the national governing body. In a letter written on Saturday to AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey, the Goan club also cited “irregularities” in the conduct of the Super Cup draw as another reason for the pulling out of the April 20-May 3 tournament. “This letter is to inform you of our withdrawal from the Super Cup 2025. On 09.04.2025, we wrote to you inviting your attention to irregularities in the manner in which the Super Cup 2025 draw had occurred,” Churchill said in the letter. “We have received no clarification as to the reason for the highly irregular and unconventional process adopted by the AIFF in conducting the draw, nor has said process been rectified.” Churchill said “the fact that different teams have been subject to different methods of determining their seed …

Inter Kashi pull off stunning heist, Churchill finish with a draw, but champions not decided yet

The 2024-25 I-League season has wrapped up… well, sort of. You know things aren’t ideal when a team – in this case Churchill Brothers – finish as leaders at the end of the league, but despite that, cannot celebrate at the final whistle of their last league match.Churchill finished with 40 points after playing out a fiery draw with Real Kashmir on Sunday in the season finale. They don’t know yet if they have won the title though, because Inter Kashi – whose tally of 39 points has an asterisk around it – could still be crowned champions. Why? Kashi’s disputed clash against Namdhari FC is under review by the AIFF Appeal Committee. Namdhari allegedly fielded an ineligible player. If the ruling goes Kashi’s way, they’ll be awarded three points, taking them to 42 and snatching the title right out from under Churchill’s nose. Incredible finale In a country where the top-most league – the Indian Super League – doesn’t have relegation, one has to appreciate the fight that the second-tier I-League provides, where the …
