LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Football Sangh (UPFS) on Saturday said that the announcement for holding of state women's football league is fake and no such move has been initiated by the All-India Football Federation (AIFF).
In a statement, UPFS president Sanjay Sinh said, "Despite AIFF opposition, Mohd Shahid called an AGM last year in violation of rules and took over as UPFS general scretary in an unauthorised manner. He has now announced holding of women's football league which is illegal." Claiming that AIFF had not directed Mohd Shahid to hold any such event, he said tha no referee or player should participate in the event, otherwise disciplinary action could be initiated against them. He said UPFS was planning to take legal action against Mohd Shahid.
