Keeping with its athlete-first approach, the Union ministry of youth affairs and sports has reached out to both the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to allow Indian club sides, Sree Gokulam Kerala FC and ATK Mohun Bagan, compete in the tournaments as scheduled.

Before the FIFA suspension of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) was announced, Sree Gokulam Kerala FC had already reached Uzbekistan, ahead of its scheduled matches against a team from Iran on August 23 and one from the host nation on August 26 in the southern Uzbekistan city of Qarshi, while ATK Mohun Bagan is slated to play the AFC Cup 2022 (Inter-Zone semifinals) on September 7 in Bahrain.

In its email to FIFA and AFC, the sports ministry has highlighted the fact that Sree Gokulam Kerala FC was already in Uzbekistan when FIFA's suspension of AIFF was announced. It has requested FIFA and AFC to therefore consider allowing the team to play in the AFC Women's Club Championship (West region) in the interest of the young players.

The ministry has also reached out to the Indian embassy in Uzbekistan to extend&nbsp;&nbsp; assistance to the team in all possible ways. The ministry is also in constant touch with the Gokulam team's management. The Supreme Court on Wednesday adjourned the hearing till August 22 on a plea relating to suspension by the international football governing body FIFA of the All India Football Federation based on a request by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta who appeared for the central government.

Mehta told the apex court that considering several factors about what can be done, the Centre on Tuesday had taken up the matter with FIFA and the Committee of Administrators (CoA) also played a key role and there is some breaking of the ice. Supreme Court asked the Centre to take proactive measures to ensure the holding of the Under 17 World Cup and lifting the suspension of the All India Football Federation (AIFF).

Late Monday night, the world football governing body FIFA announced that it had suspended the All India Football Federation (AIFF) with immediate effect. FIFA cited "undue interference by third party", referring to a Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) to handle the daily affairs of the AIFF, as the cause for suspending India. The suspension means no Indian team, club or country, can play international matches.

"The Bureau of the FIFA Council has unanimously decided to suspend the All India Football Federation (AIFF) with immediate effect due to undue influence from third parties, which constitutes a serious violation of the FIFA Statutes," FIFA said in a statement.

This is the first time the All India Football Federation has been banned by FIFA in its 85-year existence, with the Bureau of the FIFA Council stating there have been "flagrant violations of the FIFA Statutes". Crucially, India will lose hosting rights of the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, scheduled to kick off on October 11, 2022.

Sports Ministry reaches out to FIFA and AFC to allow Gokulam FC and ATK Mohun Bagan to compete in tournaments

ATK Mohun Bagan continue&nbsp;to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season of the Indian Super League (ISL) with a host of new signings. Former Manchester United star Paul Pogba's brother Florentin Pogba has become the latest high-profile signing of the ISL giants. ATK Mohun Bagan have signed Florentin from French club Sochaux, who ply their trade&nbsp;in the Ligue 2 - the second division in French football.

Florentin is the elder brother of Paul Pogba, who is a World Cup winner with France and is regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world at present. However, unlike Paul, Florentin has not represented France at the international level in senior football and played for Guinea. He had represented the France U20 team during his youth days but currently has 31 caps to his name for Guinea.

Florentin, a central defender, will significantly strengthen ATK Mohun Bagan's backline and will provide them stability in defence after a disappointing last season. ATK, one of the most successful clubs in ISL history, had missed out on the title last season after finishing third behind champions Jamshedpur FC and Hyderabad FC.

The Kolkata club has not only roped in Florentin to bolster their defence but have also signed Indian forward Ashique Kuruniyan from Bengaluru FC after letting go star striker Roy Krishna and David Williams following the conclusion of last season. Kuruniyan has been in fine form for the Indian team and is expected to carry it for the club in the upcoming season.

Paul Pogba’s brother Florentin Pogba completes move to Indian Super League, joins ATK Mohun Bagan

Despite their 0-1 loss to ATK Mohun Bagan in the second leg of the Hero Indian Super League semifinal, Hyderabad FC made history by qualifying for the final with a 3-2 victory on aggregate over two legs at the Athletic Stadium, here on Wednesday.

Roy Krishna scored in the 79th minute to give ATKMB a glimmer of hope and make for an end-to-end last ten minutes but in the end, it was not enough for the finalists of last season as the men in yellow booked a final date with Kerala Blasters at the PJN Stadium in Fatorda on Sunday.

In the first leg, Bartholomew Ogbeche, Yasir Mohammad and Javier Siverio netted for Hyderabad. 
 
Hyderabad head coach Manolo Marquez played the same team that won the first leg 3-1 while Juan Ferrando made a few changes to the ATKMB side from the last game with the ever-dependable centre-back Tiri being a forced one as he picked up an injury in the last game. Kiyan Nassiri -- who scored a memorable hat-trick in the Kolkata derby earlier this season -- got a start.

ATKMB looked the likelier of the two teams to nod ahead in the opening exchanges, the Mariners needing two goals at least to make a comeback. 
 
Liston Colaco was proving to be a handful for the Hyderabad defenders as he time and again put Nim Dorjee Tamang to the sword with his jinking runs.

Colaco's industry could have paid dividends soon but the local boy curled his effort just wide of target after dribbling past a few Hyderabad shirts inside the box. Colaco then tried to set up Krishna with a similar run and delivery inside the box but Yasir Mohammad did well to keep the Fijian striker at bay. 
 
There was no stopping Colaco as he shimmied past a few defenders post the drinks break and took a swipe at goal only for Laxmikant Kattimani to pull off a stunning save with his outstretched leg.

At the other end, Aniket Jadhav spurned a gilt-edged chance to make it 4-1 on aggregate for Hyderabad from a Yasir ball, nodding a free header from five yards, wide.

The best chance of the half, though, fell to Hugo Boumous who could not stab home from handshaking distance after a pin-point Prabir Das cross set him up perfectly, the French-Moroccan sliding in to get a touch on the ball as well but only dragging his effort wide.

Just before halftime, Joni Kauko shot wide, to sum up ATKMB's half of missed opportunities. 
 
Hyderabad suffered a blow early on in the second half when Sauvik Chakrabarti had to come off due to an injury, Sahil Tavora replacing the midfielder.

ATKMB kept piling on one attack after another as Hyderabad sat back and defended deep. Ferrando took off Sandesh Jhingan and threw in Manvir Singh, going all out in search of goals.

There were huge appeals for a penalty when Joni Kauko was brought down by Akash Mishra but replays showed he was tackled just outside the box. 
 
The goal came from a likely source for ATKMB as Colaco showed his magic again down the left flank, bursting down that side to cross from the byline at the far post where Krishna was on hand to slam home from close. 
 
ATKMB threw in the towel in the last ten minutes but it proved to be too tall an order for them in the end as they succumbed to a semifinal exit.

ISL: Hyderabad book final date against Kerala with 3-2 aggregate win over ATK Mohun Bagan

Ritwik Das helped Jamshedpur FC and himself gallop into the history books with a second-half winner to down ATK Mohun Bagan by a 1-0 margin and bag the League Shield for the first time creating history, in the Indian Super League at the PJN Stadium in Fatorda on Monday.

Jamshedpur needed to draw to finish top of the table and clinch the League Shield, and the Red Miners rode Ritwik's goal in the 56th minute to ensure they finish the season on a high, capping off a stellar campaign under Owen Coyle.

ISL: Ritwik Das stars as Jamshedpur FC lift maiden league shield with 1-0 win vs ATK Mohun Bagan

ATK Mohun Bagan and Hyderabad FC shared points after they played out a 2-2 draw in the Hero Indian Super League match at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, here on Wednesday. Mohun Bagan`s David Williams scored for the team but Javier Siverio`s late strike ensured Hyderabad FC moved to the top of the table after a rip-roaring encounter. 
 
Williams, playing ahead of Roy Krishna who started on the bench, took just 12 seconds to score before Bartholomew Ogbeche continued his goalscoring spree with an equaliser in the 18th minute. An own goal from Asish Rai (64th) almost poured cold water on Hyderabad`s hopes of going top of the tree before substitute Siverio flicked a loopy ball inside the box into the goal. 
 
Hyderabad edged past Mumbai City FC on goal difference. Both teams have 16 points from nine games. ATK Mohun Bagan moved to the third spot with 15 points from nine outings.

Bagan raced a 1-0 lead inside the first minute, Williams racking up his record goal with a powerful strike from outside the box that went in kissing Hyderabad keeper Laxmikant Kattimani`s gloves after Hugo Boumous set him up. The experienced Kattimani could have done better but at the other end, Amrinder Singh committed an even worse blunder in the 18th minute when he failed to hold on to a simple catch and the ball fell to Ogbeche. 
 
The Nigerian in-form striker made no mistake, slamming the ball into an open net to net his ninth goal of the campaign. Amrinder was at fault once again as he passed the ball to Ogbeche where he should be cleared but the Hyderabad marksman could not make the most of it. 
 
ATK Mohun Bagan suffered a setback when Carl McHugh had to be replaced just on the cusp of halftime after the Irish midfielder suffered a concussion and had to be taken off the field in an ambulance. Before halftime, Boumous picked up his fourth yellow card meaning he will miss the next game. 
 
The second half saw Hyderabad put up a solid defensive display until Williams dribbled past Akash Mishra and crossed for Joni Kauko who nodded in expertly at the far post off a slight deflection from Asish Rai. The goal was adjudged as an own goal by Rai.

ATK Mohun Bagan and Hyderabad FC shared points after they played out a 2-2 draw in the Hero Indian Super League match at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, here on Wednesday. Mohun Bagan`s David Williams scored for the team but Javier Siverio`s late strike ensured Hyderabad FC moved to the top of the table after a rip-roaring encounter. Williams, playing ahead of Roy Krishna who started on the bench, took just 12 seconds to score before Bartholomew Ogbeche continued his goalscoring spree with an equaliser in the 18th minute. An own goal from Asish Rai (64th) almost poured cold water on Hyderabad`s hopes of going top of the tree before substitute Siverio flicked a loopy ball inside the box into the goal. Hyderabad edged past Mumbai City FC on goal difference. Both teams have 16 points from nine games. ATK Mohun Bagan moved to the third spot with 15 points from nine outings.

ISL 2021-22: ATK Mohun Bagan beat FC Goa 2-1 to jump to third in points table

Juan Ferrando got off to a winning start as ATK Mohun Bagan coach after the Kolkata side registered a thrilling 3-2 win against NorthEast United in the Indian Super League game at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Tuesday. 
 
Ferrando jumped ship from FC Goa to Mohun Bagan after the Mariners let go of Antonio Lopez Habas in a dramatic turn of events over the last week.

During the match, Ferrando looked unfazed by the noise around him and went about his job but was rocked early on as VP Suhair gave NorhEast United the lead in the 2nd minute.

Hugo Boumous (53rd, 76th) scored a brace after Liston Colaco (45th) equalised for Bagan but Mashoor Shereef (87th) got the Highlanders in the game late on. In the end, the Kolkata side held firm and recorded their first win in four matches.

Mohun Bagan now have 11 points from seven games. NorthEast United remain in the ninth spot with seven points from eight matches. 
 
Stung by the early setback, Mohun Bagan upped the ante and should have pulled level but for Manvir Singh who fired over the bar from inside the box.

Roy Krishna had a couple of half-chances thereafter but good reflexes from Mirshad Michu in the NorthEast goal and Krishna`s inefficiency keep the ball in target kept the score to 1-0. 
 
For the Highlanders, seasoned defender Gurjinder Kumar got injured in the 26th minute and had to be replaced by Tondonba Singh. Colaco forced Michu into action with a fierce effort from an angle inside the box but the keeper did well to avert the danger.

At the other end, Amrinder Singh pulled off a great save to keep Rochharzela's long-range attempt at bay. Colaco then burst through into the penalty box but his take from an acute angle was well saved again by Michu.

The rebound was blocked brilliantly by Khassa Camara off Hugo Boumous. Just when it looked like NorthEast would go into the break with a 1-0 lead, Michu scuffed a goal kick and the ball fell to Krishna who swung in a delightful cross for Colaco to head into the far corner. 
 
After the halftime breather, Mohun Bagan decided to go up a gear and Boumous made it 2-1 soon after the restart to underline their intent.

NorthEast United failed to clear their lines for too long, leading to Subhasish Bose cutting the ball back from the left byline for Boumous to outfox the defender with a lovely piece of skill and tap home.

Moments later, Seiminlen Doungel found space on the edge of the box at the right flank and made no mistake in hitting the ball past Amrinder's right side to give JFC the lead.

Just before half-time, Boris Singh replaced the goal scorer Doungel who had to leave the pitch after suffering an ankle injury.

Owen Coyle fielded a 4-4-2 formation while Antonio Lopes Habas chose his tried and tested 3-4-3 formation.

At the stroke of the 33rd minute, Amrinder Singh saved a powerful left-footed low curling shot from Greg Stewart from the right flank. Moments later, Seiminlen Doungel found space on the edge of the box at the right flank and made no mistake in hitting the ball past Amrinder's right side to give JFC the lead. Roy Krishna looked to have scored the equaliser in the 40th minute. His shot from a narrow-angle escaped TP Rehenesh's grip and was rolling inside the goal but Eli Sabia was quick to react and cleared the ball from the line. Just before half-time, Boris Singh replaced the goal scorer Doungel who had to leave the pitch after suffering an ankle injury. Roy Krishna received a yellow card for a challenge on Hartley which left the latter in some pain. The second half got off to a cagey start with both teams struggling to create clear scoring chances.

ISL 2021-22: Seiminlen Doungel and Alex Lima star as Jamshedpur FC shock ATK Mohun Bagan FC 2-1

Defending champions Mumbai City FC beat ATK Mohun Bagan 5-1 in a repeat of last season's final in the 2021-22 Indian Super League (ISL) at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda on Wednesday.

Vikram Pratap Singh (4', 25'), Igor Angulo (38'), Mourtada Fall (47'), Bipin Singh (52') scored for the title-holders. David Williams (60') came off the bench to score a consolation.

Antonio Lopez Habas retained trust in the same set of players that won bragging right in the Kolkata derby over the weekend.

Mumbai City, who were subjected to a 3-1 loss to Hyderabad FC on the same day, made two alterations. Mandar Rao Dessai started at left-back as Vikram assumed Raynier's place on the right-wing.

Young Vikram took less than four minutes to repay the faith Des Buckingham put on him. The pacy forward was at the right position when a square pass from Bipin Singh went through a defender`s leg and Vikram shot the first time into the net, nutmegging goalkeeper Amrinder Singh.

The wave of attacks remained relentless. The ATKMB defence had no answers when another bit of build-up play from the left saw Bipin's delivery tapped home by Vikram on the second time of asking as he slid in, almost colliding with Amrinder.

Bagan's sorry state of affairs was highlighted by their zero shots on target in the first half. The city was not done as Mandar's cross was laid down by Fall inside the box and the dangerous marksman Angulo had no trouble guiding the ball into the net, putting his side three to the good before the break.

With Deepak Tangri sent off right after the resumption, City made it 4-0 with Fall heading in a freekick from Jahouh.

Historic Indian football club Mohun Bagan on Wednesday went global as it became country’s first ever sports entity to feature on NASDAQ billboards in New York’s Times Square.

On July 29 every year, Mohun Bagan Day is celebrated to commemorate the team’s iconic IFA Shield triumph in 1911 when the club defeated East Yorkshire Regiment 2-1 while becoming the first Indian football club to end British dominance on the tournament.

The 131-year-old Kolkata-based club has millions of supporters across the globe but the American stock exchange paying tribute on its billboard holds special significance.

"It is a matter of great pride for all Mohun Bagan fans and supporters. It shows the kind of stature the club enjoys. No Indian sports club has ever featured on something like this, so it is significant, very different," Mohun Bagan's top official Debashis Dutta told PTI.
