Bhaichung Bhutia Urges AIFF to Model IPL After Court Ruling
Bhaichung Bhutia, a famous football player, believes the AIFF (the group running Indian football) should use the IPL (cricket league) as a guide.
This is because the Supreme Court ruled that the AIFF must control the top football league.
He thinks the AIFF should work with everyone involved, like the IPL does.
Bhutia also supports including former players in the AIFF, as he believes they bring valuable experience.
This will lead to better governance.
The Supreme Court's ruling helps.
Bhaichung Bhutia suggests the AIFF should model the IPL for the top-tier football competition.
The Supreme Court ruled that the AIFF must solely own and manage the football league.
Bhutia emphasizes the need for collaboration between the AIFF and all stakeholders.
He welcomes the inclusion of former players in the AIFF's general body.
The former India captain stated that the federation will need support.
