U17 World Cup: Police complaint lodged against top FIFA officials in Guwahati

A police complaint has been lodged against FIFA U17 World Cup tournament director Javier Ceppi and All India Football Federation (AIFF) President Praful Patel by an organisation in Guwahati for misleading the people in the city.

The complaint was filed by Tai Ahom Juva Chatra Parishad, Assam (TAYCPA) at Basistha police station on Wednesday after the FIFA U17 World Cup semifinal between Brazil and England was shifted from Guwahati to Kolkata on account of poor playing conditions at the Indira Gandhi Athletic stadium.

However, TAYCPA alleged that was not the case and FIFA and AIFF have misled the people of Assam.
