Among the seven candidates that have applied for the position so far, Bhaichung is the most well-known name.
Digital Desk: The well-known footballer Bhaichung Bhutia today filed his nomination for president of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) in the upcoming elections, but the former footballer will face stiff competition from other contenders with political ties.
Ex-footballers-turned-politicians, as well as long-time sports administrators, are vying for positions in sports administration. The time for submitting nominations expired today. The postponed elections are set for August 28.
Deepak Mondal, a former teammate on the national team, and Madhu Kumari, an "excellent woman player," both put out Bhutia's name.
However, former players must remain part of the electoral college for him to succeed. FIFA statuettes currently forbid their widespread participation in the electoral college.
Among the seven candidates that have submitted bids for the position of AIFF president, Bhaichung is the most well-known name. The other names are Valanka Alemao, N.A. Harris, Eugeneson Lyngdoh, Kalyan Chowbey, Manvinder Singh, and Shaji Prabhakaran.
The former India captain, whose name had been circulating ever since the Supreme Court-appointed CoA announced the elections for a new executive committee, eventually acceded to the desire of his fraternity and submitted his candidacy.
