The Anwar Ali Saga: A Bitter Dispute in Indian Football

Indian football has been rocked by the ongoing Anwar Ali saga, which has seen the All India Football Federation’s Players’ Status Committee (PSC) called upon to deliver a verdict on the issue. The hearing, which has involved arguments from all parties concerned, including Mohun Bagan, East Bengal, and Delhi FC, is expected to conclude by the middle of next week.

The dispute centers around Anwar Ali, a talented young footballer who has been caught up in a bitter legal battle between his former club, East Bengal, and his current club, Mohun Bagan. The issue at hand is whether or not Anwar was free to sign for Mohun Bagan, or whether he was still under contract with East Bengal at the time of the transfer.

Both clubs have presented their arguments to the PSC, with East Bengal claiming that Anwar was still under contract with them when he signed for Mohun Bagan, and that the transfer was therefore illegal. Mohun Bagan, on the other hand, argue that Anwar was a free agent at the time of the transfer, and that they have done nothing wrong.

The PSC’s decision is eagerly awaited by all parties concerned, with a sporting sanction on Anwar and compensation for East Bengal and the player concerned looking likely. The decision will bring an end to this bitter saga, which has cast a shadow over Indian football in recent months.
