The AFC was represented by Mr. Ali Targholizadeh, who is the Technical Director of the Futsal & Beach Soccer Development Department of the AFC, Mr. Jacob Joseph Biggs, the Project Manager of the AFC Futsal Development Programme and Mr. Badrul Hisham Bin Kalam of the AFC Futsal Referee's Department. AIFF?s General Secretary Mr. Kushal Das along with Hero I-League CEO Mr. Sunando Dhar, AIFF?s Technical Director Savio Medeira, AIFF?s Head of Player Development Richard Hood were also in attendance at the meeting. Speaking on the occasion, the AIFF General Secretary said, ?We have trying to develop Futsal in India for some time now. This was missing from the Indian development programme. And I hope with the help of the AFC we should be able to start a Futsal competition by this year in India. That is the objective.? Ali Targholizadeh opined, ?Asia has almost 2/3rd of the world population and India is a major and very important part of that not just demographically but in other aspects too. Countries who might not be traditional footballing superpowers can do well in Futsal. I?m happy with AIFF?s initiative to develop futsal for football and futsal for futsal which is a part of developing football overall.? ?I think it?s a new beginning for us and we are looking towards getting in more coaches and instructors to help us develop futsal in India?, added Savio Medeira. The meeting took place to discuss matters on regarding developing and creating a road map for Futsal in India. There was also a discussion on creating an ideal platform for the spread and advent of Futsal as a popular form of football in India. The AIFF conveyed its full commitment towards creating a pathway for courses, competitions and match officiating across our country that will help in development of Futsal. --- Media Department, AIFF.

The Committee reviewed the AIFF Constitution and AIFF regulations for the Status and Transfer of Players as well as various circulars issued by FIFA relating to the fundamentals of a contract to be entered between a Club and a player. It also reviewed the decision of the IFA?s Players Status Committee as the Constitution of IFA stipulates that whichever Club is in possession of the token of a player has the ?legal right? of registering the player in the Club for the forthcoming season. Based on the review of the above, the special Committee decided as follows: 1.The decision of the IFA dated July 28, 2017 relating to the legal rights of the player on the basis of the token cannot be sustained and/or enforced. 2. AIFF is the authority to adjudicate the disputed subject issue in its entirety including the ?Status? of the Player and/or whether there exists any valid and binding written contract, and whether there has been mandatory compliance of Articles 4.3 and 5 of the AIFF regulations for the Status and Transfer of Players. 3. As per the AIFF Constitution and AIFF regulations for the Status and Transfer of players, the ?Players Status Committee? of the AIFF is entrusted with exclusive powers to deal with and settle the ?dispute? as the status of the Player and his Contractual validity. 4. Any other or further decision of the IFA relating to or arising out of the subject issue of Abinash Ruidas cannot be sustained/enforced. Accordingly, the matter relating to validity of the contracts of the players will be dealt by the AIFF Players Status Committee at a meeting to be summoned soon. *---* ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2017 14:27:07 +0000 (UTC) From: Jude Botelho <judesundayreflecti...@yahoo.co.in> To: Jude Yahoo!

In reality our God acts in small and unobtrusive ways often unnoticed and unheeded by us. Our all-powerful God is a God of small things! He does not display his power yet works in wonderful ways for us and with us. Have an exciting week discovering his quiet action and presence in our lives! -Fr. Jude Sunday Ref: XIX Sunday ?Courage! It is I, the Lord! Do not be afraid!??? ? ? ? ? 13-Aug-2017Readings:?1 Kings 19: 9, 11-13; ? ? ? ? ?Rom.9: 1-5; ? ? ? ? ?Matt. 14: 22-33; In the first reading we meet Elijah the prophet hiding in a cave as he tries to distance himself from Queen Jezabel who is out to get him because he has humiliated and killed her prophets. Now on the run for his life, he is directed to Mount Horeb where he takes refuge in a cave. He wants to meet God and wishes this God to act powerfully against his enemies. There he discovers that his tactics are not God?s tactics. God?s approach is a non-violent one, symbolized by the mighty wind and earthquake in which he does not find God. Rather it is a gentle one, symbolized by the gentle breeze. Our God is so different from what we expect! Deep calls to DeepA storm arose at sea and the ship was being tossed by winds and waves. Panic-stricken, the passengers ran helter-skelter on the deck begging God to save them. Amidst the confusion, little Monica stared coolly at the tempestuous sea. Seeing the girl so cool and composed, a passenger barked, ?Hey kid, aren?t you afraid?? Monica replied casually, ?Why worry? My daddy?s the captain!? Today?s readings speak of winds and waves, and of Christ, our Captain?s assurance. ?Courage! It is I!?Francis Gonsalves in ?Sunday Seeds for Daily Deeds? In today?s gospel, we read that Jesus sent his disciples in a boat and he went on the mountain and was praying until three in the morning. Later, Jesus walked over the water and found His disciples fighting a losing battle against the storm. Though He was present fear engulfed them. His presence calmed the sea and gave them freedom from fear. The lesson in this passage is abundantly clear. As Matthew relates it, the story is clearly symbolic. The disciples in the boat represent the infant church; the wind and the waves represent the persecution let loose on the Church. Jesus is not with them physically; He is in heaven praying to the Father. However in the Church?s direst need, when all seems lost, her Lord comes to save her, The incident of Peter sinking and being saved by Jesus is probably a reference to Peter?s failure during the passion, and his restoration after the resurrection. In any case Peter represents the typical disciple, caught between faith and doubt. Jesus? re buke, ?Man of little faith! Why did you doubt?? is directed to us also, who often start out courageously only to lose heart when faced with a crisis. Jesus Comes ? In silenceA proper understanding of the gospel story of Jesus walking on the sea has a lot to teach us of who Jesus is. Jesus comes to us in our trials and tribulations. He comes very calmly and quietly. He comes to us in silence. If we practice silence long enough, we may, like Elijah, sense God in the most surprising moments of our lives. Let me conclude with this story. Four monks decided to meditate silently without speaking for two weeks. By nightfall on the first day, the candle began to flicker and then went out. The first monk said, ?Oh, no! The candle is out.? The second monk said, ?Aren?t we not supposed to talk?? The third monk said, ?Why must you break the silence?? The fourth monk laughed and said, ?I?m the only one who didn?t speak.? ?Mother Teresa says, ?We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature ? trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see how the stars, the moon and the s un, how they move in silence?we need silence to be able to touch souls.?John Pichappilly in ?The Table of the Word? The impossible becomes possible?Mark Link tells the inspiring story of a 17 year-old girl named Joni Eareckson, who like all teenagers her age was full of vitality, vigour and promise. Her favourite sport was horse riding, and in every completion her performance was so very impressive that her prospects for the future kept rising both noticeably and dramatically. One hot afternoon in July, Joni went for a swim in Chesapeake Bay and there tragedy struck. On one particular dive she sustained such a severe injury to her head that she was instantly knocked unconscious and rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. And there the worst fears of her loved ones were confirmed. Joni would be a quadriplegic for the rest of her life. The months ahead were an absolute nightmare, with just no light at the end of the tunnel. The once graceful rider, who delighted crowds with her performances, would lie strapped to a Stryker frame. And for much of her time she would lie with her face d own, looking at nothing but the floor. That is when she had a spiritual experience. As Joni lay strapped in her Stryker frame, she thought of Jesus nailed to the cross. He was God yet he was totally powerless and helpless. And she adds, ?I pictured Jesus standing by my Stryker frame and saying to me, ?Don?t lose heart, Joni, for I am with you and will help you to achieve the impossible.? Even as she lay there a curious thought crossed Joni?s mind. She could attempt painting if she could hold a painting brush between her teeth. And that is precisely what she did- so successfully and admirably that she is author of two best-sellers ?one being autobiographical and entitled Joni ?and has played the lead role in a movie of her own life. This inspiring story aptly demonstrates what Jesus can do in the life of any and every individual, if we let him. As the saying goes, ?Where some see a caterpillar, others see a butterfly.? As someone has rightly said, ?We must let go, and let God .? This precisely is what Joni did in her absolute helplessness. But with faith in the almighty power and the never-failing help of the Lord Jesus, she was able to achieve the impossible.J. Valladares in ?Your Words O Lord, are Spirit, and they are Life? Launch out into the deepThe God-encounter is possible when one dives deeper, climbs higher, ventures further and ?burns one?s boats? to launch out into the deep. The conquistador, Hernan Cortes (1485- 1547), was an ambitious man and desired to conquer Mexico for King Charles V of Spain. Frightened by unknown lands and its many inhabitants, his sailors dreamt of turning back to their ships, whereupon Cortes ordered them to ?burn their boats.? Are you ready to burn your boats and launch out into the deep to meet Deep?Francis Gonsalves in ?Sunday Seeds for Daily Deeds? Ready to uphold you!Peter?s encounter with Jesus becomes a model of the Church?s encounter with God. Life tosses us about and makes us scream, ?Help!? Rather than saving us by shortcuts, Jesus appears in life?s storms saying, ?Courage, it is I!? His invitation follows: ?Come!? Are we ready ?as individuals and Church ? to jump off the boat, leave the bandwagon and abandon the crowd? The Indian state of Gujarat suffered devastating floods in July 2005. The oldest Church in Gujarat, at Anand, was inundated like never before. This ?Church in deep waters? is symbolic of the Church called to weather today?s tempests of godlessness, globalization, materialism, fundamentalism, and individualism. Indeed, Christ the Captain calls us to enter depth and encounter Deep. Isn?t that the same hand that held Peter ever ready to hold you and me?Francis Gonsalves in ?Sunday Seeds for Daily Deeds? May we with faith launch out knowing He will uphold us! Fr. Jude Botelho botelhoj...@gmail.com PS.

The signatories include Jesuit theologians T K John and Francis Gonsalves, academicians Sr. Nirmalini, AC, Dr. Michael Williams, and St Stephen's college dean Fr Monodeep Daniel, All India Catholic Union president Lancy D Cuna, EFI general secretary Rev Vijayesh Lal, New Delhi YMCA president Vijay Russel, Former Member of Delhi Minorities Commission AC Michael, activists Cedric Prakash, Ajay Kumar Singh, Dominic Emmanuel, Virginia Saldanha, lawyers Jenis Francis, Tehmina Arora, Pramod Singh, PI Jose, and journalists Suresh Mathew, Jacob Kani, KM Selvaraj, and John Dayal. The Open Letter states: "The number of violent acts against Christians alone during the last three years (2014-2016) are over 600, including an increasing trend at social boycott that impinges on the right to life, food and livelihood. This includes physical violence, stopping of worship in churches, attacks on churches, arrests of pastors and their companions, and rapes of Nuns. The National Crime Records Bureau documented 47,064 acts of violence against Dalits in 2014, up from 32,643 in 2010. The violence against Muslims is reaching an alarming peak. The hate spewed not just by non-state actors and political functionaries, but even by Members of Parliament and sometimes by ministers forms the backdrop of this violence, as it also smothers voices seeking justice." The Christian community, despite its laudable heritage of the prophetic tradition of defending justice, human rights and freedom, especially of the oppressed and the marginalized, has not come out openly in support of the truth and its upholders. Many had looked upon the Church and expected it to protest these infringements, whoever be the victim of the moment. "The Church, guided by you, needs to act before it is too late. This is the lesson we learn from history. It is time to stand with the victims to be the voice of poor and marginalised; time to collaborate and partner with the civil society to spread the truth; and time to take bold initiatives and action to prevent further erosion of our humane and constitutional values," the Open letter said. The following is the text of the letter and the names, in alphabetical order, of the signatories: "We, as Indian Christians, are concerned at the steady shift we see in our country from a pluralist, secular, democracy to a Hindu Rashtra. What used to be fringe, has now become mainstream. There is a systematic design to undermine the Constitution. Official machinery often seems working in tandem with the 'vigilantes'. Street lynching, victims charged as accused, stage-managed trials; all on the basis of one's religious and caste identities. Media seems mute, silent in self-censorship, coerced by the state, or leashed by its corporate ownership. Fake News is the final straw. What is at stake? The country risks a hierarchical order and an ideology eroding, containing and overwhelming the liberty, equality and fraternity bequeathed us by the Freedom Struggle as an 'idea of India' for the modern age. A new coercive culture, steered mob-inspired killers, is destroying lives and families amongst us. Fear stalks the land. The spontaneous multi-city #NotInMyName upsurge of public revulsion was the ordinary Indian's cry against this hate and blood-letting. The anger is as much over the killings as it is over our collective silence. The government's double talk is apparent. It is right in its solidarity with the global challenge to international terrorism, but has minimized and dismissed the terror wreaked on the weak and the marginalized by the violent nationalism of the mob. Victims have been Dalits, specially their youth and their women, Tribals and religious minorities. The number of violent acts against Christians alone during the last three years (2014-2016) are over 600, including an increasing trend at social boycott that impinges on the right to life, food and livelihood. This includes physical violence, stopping of worship in churches, attacks on churches, arrests of pastors and their companions, and rapes of Nuns. The National Crime Records Bureau documented 47,064 acts of violence against Dalits in 2014, up from 32,643 in 2010. The violence against Muslims is reaching an alarming peak. The hate spewed not just by non-state actors and political functionaries, but even by Members of Parliament and sometimes by ministers forms the backdrop of this violence, as it also smothers voices seeking justice. Inevitably, and perhaps deliberately, these divisive and emotional issues divert attention from the repercussions of radical changes in financial laws and economic policies that adversely affect workers, farmers and the youth who suddenly find themselves rendered unemployed. The political process taking shape today is against every fundamental humane and constitutional principle of Equality and Dignity of every Indian, and preserving Common Good. Indeed, it is evil. And inherently calls upon us as individuals, community and people of Faith, to raise our voice against it. The Christian community, despite its laudable heritage of the prophetic tradition of defending justice, human rights and freedom, especially of the oppressed and the marginalized, has not come out openly in support of the truth and its upholders. Many had looked upon the Church and expected it to protest these infringements, whoever be the victim of the moment. This demands serious reflection. As Christians, we are called to be the salt of the earth. Jesus gave the two greatest commandments... loving our Lord with all we have and loving our Neighbour. We have professed obedience to these commandments, but perhaps not as visibly as we should have. Our children, our youth, ask us if we are showing true Christian love today to our neighbours, manifested in the victims of injustice, the marginalised Dalits and tribals, exploited farmers and unorganized labour? Or have we compromised Kingdom values, for short term gains. Have we become lukewarm; are we the men of cloth who walk by the bleeding man on the road to Jericho? The Church, guided by you, needs to act before it is too late. This is the lesson we learn from history. It is time to stand with the victims to be the voice of poor and marginalised; time to collaborate and partner with the civil society to spread the truth; and time to take bold initiatives and action to prevent further erosion of our humane and constitutional values. We humbly call upon you, all Christian leaders and Heads of Churches, to reflect and lead the community in the path of truth, love and justice. We offer a few points for your consideration, as a Charter of our Duty to our fellow Citizens and our nation. Based on the Biblical values of justice, right, freedom, dignity and the well-being of every human being, the Christian community should be part of every civil initiative for truth, reconciliation and peace. Any erosion, dilution, infringement or violation of Constitutional rights to life and liberty must invite a response from the church as it does from the people. Speaking out is often the one response that is needed. Saying "Stop" to an act of injustice can often prevent tragedy. Our educational institutions must assume their pristine role as crucibles for nation-building, as the Supreme Court has described them. Our Theological institutions, Bible colleges, Formation Houses must in their pedagogy include familiarization with the rights and duties of citizens in international covenants and the Constitution of India to enhance knowledge and hone civic conscience. In unison with members of all faiths, ideologies we should marshal India's tremendous spiritual resources in consolidating peace, resolving conflicts infusing a sense of values in the body politic.
