Condolence

Sad to hear the news about the sad demise of the Former Manager and Football Coach of JKSC Farooq Ahmed. May his soul rest in peace and may Allah Almighty grant him place in Jannat.

He remained coach of J and K Football Team in many National Championships and coached many players who made up their mark at National and international levels.

Apart from being a true sportsman he was such a noble soul with a lot of humbleness.

We extend our deepest sympathies to everyone affected by this profound loss.

Congratulations to Ishfaq Ahmed for being appointed as a Head Coach of India U-16 men's team.

After meticulously deliberating on the applications from the various candidates, the Committee recommended the three core coaching staff that will take the U-16 Men's team forward.

Ishfaq Ahmed was unanimously recommended for the appointment of the head coach of U-16 Men's national team.

The Committee also recommended that Rajan Mani and Feroz Sharif be appointed assistant coach and goalkeeper coach, respectively, at the U-16 national team.

We are proud of Ishfaq Ahmed. Great decision taken by the Technical Committee of AIFF. We hope he will come up with the expectations and will use all his experience to get the best results for team India. I on behalf of every member of NIFF congratulate Ishfaq for his new role.

*NIFF vehemently rejected Bunty Singh's criticism against former Chairman JKFA and Secretary JKSC.*

NIFF aggressively objected to Bunty Singh's criticism of JKSC Secretary and former JKFA Chairman. Bunty Singh is in the business of doing everything in their power to eradicate football in Jammu. Due to DFA Jammu, he was elected Treasurer of the JKFA and has since made no contributions towards football. These individuals simply need to sit in the seats and take use of the power. The self-described football developer is unable to demonstrate or describe what he has accomplished for Jammu football. He is just skilled at swinging in various directions. He occasionally holds press conferences in which he criticises his own former DFA members, as he did today with the Secretary JKSC and Chairman JKFA.

By making claims of this nature, he is attempting to conceal the wrongdoings that the authorities are looking into. In addition, his name is listed among those connected to the infamous Biryani scams carried out by former JKFA members.
He failed to remember that it was he who obtained a stay order from the Hon'ble Court, which prevented the DFA Jammu elections. The aforementioned person excels only in obtaining court stays and delivering news conferences just to divert the attention. He is only interested in staying in the spotlight. Everyone knows that these individuals have no influence over Jammu's clubs and stakeholders. They are masters in using clubs to further their own interests.

The best instance of his accusations against Secretary JKSC, who has done an amazing job since joining the department, is today's press conference. He overlooked the fact that she had received a JK Administration award for her great work in the sports industry.

With these kinds of actions, the former treasurer is doing all to his capacity to sabotage the election process at the behest of corrupt former JKFA officials in order to conceal numerous other scams, such as Khelo India and the grants repeatedly receiveed from other sources. We are confident that the investigative authorities will look into their horrific actions and that they will be brought to jail for bringing disgrace to our great game of football.

Information

NIFF would like to congratulate Mr Waseem Aslam for doing a great job as a Chairman Election Committee and day to day affairs of JKFA. It is for the first time in the history of JK Football wherein the people of J and K have witnessed so many football development activities taking place and conducting of fair and transparent elections across the UT of J&K. We would also like to thank Mr Waseem Aslam, Prof B A Shah and their entire team for all their time and effort they have put in holding the elections of DFA/Zones of J&K.

Now since Mr Waseem has stepped down as a Chairman JKFA and a committee has been formed which will look after the elections and day to day affairs of JK Football Association till the main body of JKFA is formed. The committee will be headed by Mr Nazir Ahmed Andrabi as Chairman and Prof B A Shah as General Secretary. The other members of the committee include Mr Nazir Ahmed Bhat, Mr Naseem ul Gani, Mr Lateef Ahmed, Mr Iftekhar Ahmed Lone, Mr Kuldeep Singh, Mr Ramesh Chander, Mr Surinder Sharma, Mr Arun Pal Singh, Mr Moon Madan Stephan. We hope that the committee formed will do their job honestly and to the best satisfaction of the entire football fraternity.

Since Mr Nazir Ahmed Andrabi (Chairman NIFF,) now being Head of the Election and day to day affairs committee of JKFA till the new body of JKFA is formed, is hence relieved from the position of Chairmanship of NIFF and in his place Mr Showkat Ahmed Pakhtoon will be looking after the affairs of NIFF as Interim Chairman.

Niff strongly disagrees with the statement made by ex treasurer JKFA

The so called meeting which was held at Jammu under the supervision of former Treasurer JKFA Bunty Singh has no base. These people when on chairs had not done anything during their tenure and now all of a sudden are feeling pain for jammu football. The said treasurer and the members failed completely to perform their duties and even the name of the treaurer surfaced in infamous Biryani scam of M***i Memorial for which a FIR by ACB has already been lodged. It was during his tenure that jammu dfa got dissolved twice, this shows his inability of running the football affairs. The other members who claim to be the football saviours have damaged the football of Jammu for their personal gains and interests. They never want Jammu football to rise again. The condition of Jammu football has become such that players hardly get matches to play and they struggle to compete during the national trials. This is what they have given to Jammu football. Ironically some so called members from JKFA who are involved in scams and have no say in JK Football now flew down to Jammu for the meeting. The claimed members are still not satisfied with the bad name they have given to JK Football.

Notably, the turn of previous regime of JKFA and its exco expired in may 2022. They completely failed to conduct the elections before the due date because of gross violations of the constitution. The so called exco are dreaming and not able to digest that their tenure had ended last year. During their tenure they left no stone unturned to tarnish the image of JKFA by doing various scams and violations time and again for their pitty benefits. Moreover its the said treasurer who got the stay on the elections of DFA Jammu. This is enough reason for the real stake holders of Jammu to understand their ill intentions and lust of power.

Niff is always in favour of holding the elections in transparent manner and leave it to the club's and associate members of JKFA to elect the new exco body of JKFA. We appreciate the efforts made by Chairman JKFA and Secretary Prof Bashir alongwith their team for conducting the elections in the districts and zones. We are sure that the elections in remaining districts also be held with no further delay follwed by the main body elections of JKFA.

NIFF honoured Muzamil Mahmoud in Executive Body Meeting.

Today's NIFF Executive Body Meeting saw Muzamil Mahmood honoured for his contributions towards the growth of football in general and his completion of the AFC A Diploma Course. Mr. Nazir Ahmed, Interim Chairman of NIFF, and Mr. Bashir Ahmed Malik, President of DFA, presented Muzamil a small token of their gratitude.

The members also discussed forthcoming football development initiatives and expressed confidence in the current JKFA Officials, who are working hard to put football affairs back on track. NIFF cleared the way for a smooth election process and congratulated Prof. Bashir A Shah, Chairman JKFA Mr. Wasim Aslam and their team for successfully holding elections in all DFA's and Zones within the Kashmir Division.

In order to restore football's lost grandeur, NIFF anticipated that the same procedure would be followed in the Jammu Division and that the JKFA's main body elections would follow. However, on the day they arrived, Gen Secretary Prof. B. A. Shah received a copy of the stay order from the Hon'ble Court, which limited their ability to perform the elections. The irony is that the guy whose name appears in the FIR and who formerly served as the JKFA's Treasurer obtained a stay of the elections. Additionally, some self-styled individuals, namely Showkat Dada (Anantnag) and Khursheed Ahmed(Budgam), who lost the polls in their own respective districts have obtained another stay from the Hon'ble High Court to challenge Mr. Wasim Aslam's chairmanship. These individuals forgot that they were the ones who, along with their bosses, elected him to the position. These arguments alone should help them comprehend just how far some individuals will go to ruin football in order to further their own interests.

We pledge our complete support to the current JKFA Chairman and General Secretary and ask them to move forward with the football-related matters for which NIFF will always be at their rear end.

NIFF additionally requested JKFA Chairman and General Secretary to begin football operations at the earliest. Football players excitedly anticipate the return of thriving football activities.

Doors need to be shown to the people who have brought bad name to the beautiful game of football and authorities should bring them to justice.

NIFF.
