7 Manipuri Footballers Boycott Women's Team Over Coach's 'Divide & Rule Policy', Officials Mum

News 18  

New Delhi: It's been five months since seven Manipuri players of the Indian women's football team decided to sit out of the national setup. The players had written in the letter that the "Head Coach and Assistant Coach of the National Team are not able to bring the team together and in fact play divide and rule policy leading to a stifling situation in the camp and the team." Even if they say that 'no we want the coach and we don't want you guys', that's also okay, but at least reply," Player 1 said. Player 2 also shared that AIFF had sent them flight tickets for the national camp ahead of the Women's Gold Cup in February in Odisha but they responded saying that, "The federation is yet to address our grievances and we cannot come back for the national camp unless that happens." Of the seven players who are sitting out, Bala recently scored 26 goals in the Indian Women's League in Ludhiana but she was not a part of the national team that took on Myanmar in the AFC Olympic qualifiers last month, where India narrowly missed out on a spot in the third round.
