The All India Football Federation (AIFF) late on Sunday night issued a statement on the ongoing matter surrounding defender Anwar Ali’s transfer.

It said that the AIFF Players’ Status Committee (PSC) is an independent adjudicatory body of the AIFF that has adjudicated over 90+ cases since its appointment in 2022.

“The Committee is composed solely of independent members. Besides providing secretarial assistance, the AIFF administration does not participate in the proceedings or any of the Committee’s decisions,” the governing body said in its statement.

The statement also mentioned how the PSC has passed an interim order in the matter and, thereafter, has issued a clarification on the instructions of the Committee.
