India and other SAFF members pull out of Saudi-led SWAFF
India and six other members of the South Asian Football Federation (SAFF) on Tuesday pulled out of the newly-formed Saudi Arabia-led bloc with immediate effect in support of the Asian Football Confederation’s President Sheikh Salman Al Khalifa.
Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, Sri Lanka and Pakistan are the other SAFF nations to severe ties with South West Asian Football Federation (SWAFF) on the eve of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) congress in Kuala Lumpur.
Former Saudi Arabia Football Federation chief Adel Ezzat was made president of SWAFF
The SWAFF was formed in August with 14 member countries in it.
Ezzat was made president while the AIFF vice-president Subrata Dutta became the vice president of the new regional football body in its first general assembly held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The SWAFF is also likely to receive official recognition as one of the regional federations during the AFC Congress tomorrow.
