The AFC Ad-hoc Committee for Indian Professional Football will meet here in the Indian capital on Wednesday, April 13 to take stock of the progress being made by the game.
AFC President Mohamed Bin Hammam, on a two-day visit to India, will chair the meeting. The All India Football Federation (AIFF) chief Praful Patel is the deputy chairman of the body.
Along with AFC Vice-President Manilal Fernando, who is also the FIFA Development Officer, prominent Indian club owners and officials are members of the committee, whose aim is to professionalise football in the country.
Several issues of importance will be taken up for discussion and decision during the meeting, which starts at 1700 hours local time.
The committee in its last meeting in September 2010 saw the members expressing their views and aspirations for Indian football, discussing the way forward for the game to reclaim its past glory.
Following the meeting, an AFC team had carried out a wide-randing and thorough inspection of all I-League clubs, starting October 23 and ending November 1 last year.
On November 2, a workshop for I-League clubs, including the second division outfits, will be conducted by AFC before the third meeting of the committee on November 21.
Then the AIFF President Patel had reiterated the deadline of December 31, 2010, for all I-League clubs to adopt the AFC Champions League criteria.
