CAG officials visited AIFF headquarters to look into documents over alleged financial irregularities | OneFootball

Officials from the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) visited the headquarters of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Tuesday in order to look into documents of the last four financial years.

The CAG had put together a team to conduct an audit of the AIFF for the last four financial years for alleged financial irregularities earlier this month and as per the Press Trust of India - "they (CAG officials) have in fact visited the AIFF regarding an audit of the last four financial years for alleged financial irregularities".

The AIFF have found themselves under a cloud recently as they are yet to conduct elections which have been pending for more than a year despite several members of the body expressing their opposition to it.

The football governing body in India for their part though have reiterated that they have not received any "special letter" from CAG in recent times and said submission of its audited financial statements is a "normal thing" which is done from time to time.

The Supreme Court last month informed the AIFF that Praful Patel has no mandate to continue as the president, considering that he has already completed three terms so far and that they should conduct elections without any delay.
