AIFF President Evaluates Possibility Of Implementing ‘Additional Video Review System’ In India | Football News

[ad_1] The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has written to the International Football Association Board (IFAB) to explore the possibility of India participating in the trial of the 'Additional Video Review System' (AVRS).

AFC Asian Cup: Three Wise Men Dream Of Displaying Right Intent In Doha | Football News

[ad_1] India are all set to participate in the AFC Asian Cup for the fifth time in history, once the ball gets rolling in Doha, Qatar, on January 13, the previous editions being in 1964, 1984, 2011 and 2019.
