Updates from AIFF

How much it would help Indian football develop, God Knows. All India Football Federation or AIFF has taken initiative to rename itself as FFB or Bharat Football Federation. India would be then sporting as ‘Bharat’ in the international circuit. The process is on. It’s still in the proposal and approval-seeking phase.

Furthermore, Mr. Chaubey and his colleagues have passed a new resolution requiring both the national anthem (‘Jana Gana Mana’) and the national song (‘Vande Mataram’) to be played before all official matches under their aegis.

By the way, AIFF has already proposed an annual football calendar for the top-tier Indian teams. ISL, Durand and Fed Cup will remain as the major tourneys. More updates are likely to come soon about PIO/ OCI footballers for the ISL clubs.

Gearing up for the World Cup

FIFA World Cup ‘2026 is just a few days away. The WC fever has started to rise among all the football freaks surely. “The greatest show on Earth” is going to be a grand festival this time indeed spanning about one-and-half months.

FIFA has recently launched the official theme song ‘Dai Dai’ for this WC. It’s a rocking score sung yet again by the Latina sensation Shakira, this time partnered with popular Nigerian artist Burna Roy. Shakira has actually set a record to be playing the same role for the fourth time after ‘2006, ‘2010 and ‘2014 editions. Let’s enjoy the number.
