However, the WIFA and the IFA announced their decision to forego the grant."I understand that the Covid pandemic has made life difficult for all of us - not just for football but for all issues regarding our livelihood," Patel stated. "The sport has been very badly affected worldwide, and matches are being played behind closed doors."The Indian football season is all set to kick-off from October onwards. Despite the difficult situation we hope to move ahead with the planned calendar. But there's always a doubt whether we would be able to conduct ourselves as planned," he added.Patel pointed out that a large number of states were still battling the coronavirus, because of which the teams have not been able to reassemble and the camps have not been started."Even the Leagues are getting curtailed, and it's not good for the game and the players. 2020 has been a very difficult year for sports," the President maintained.( With inputs from IANS )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
