A father has taken the All India Football Federation to the Gujarat High Court, challenging the age eligibility criteria for the U-14 category. The case involves a child born in 2013 who is deemed too old for the category.
A unique case has emerged in the Gujarat High Court, where a father is challenging the All India Football Federation's (AIFF) age eligibility criteria for the U-14 category. The child in question was born in 2013 and, according to the AIFF's rules, is too old to participate in the U-14 category. The father is arguing that this rule is unfair and is seeking justice from the court. The case highlights the complexities and challenges faced by parents and children in the sports sector. The AIFF's age eligibility criteria are in place to ensure fair competition among players, but in this case, the rule seems to be affecting a child's opportunity to participate in the sport.
