In the men’s football order, the platoon must correspond substantially of players under the age of 23, but they’re allowed to include three players aged 23 or over. The women’s platoon, on the other hand, don’t have any age restrictions.
A many days back Khel Now had revealed that these three elderly players will be a part of the Asian Games team. still, unexpectedly, their names weren’t included in the list of athletes participated with the organizers for the event, and the deadline for submission was July 15.

“ When we( AIFF’s trainers, specialized officers and support staff members and confederation officers) had made a donation to the sports ministry’s officers requesting for the football brigades ’( men and women) concurrence for the Asiad, we did n’t realise that their names( Chhetri, Sandhu and Jhingan) weren’t in the original list of athletes transferred to the organisers, ” Kalyan Chaubey told TOI on Friday( July 28).
He added, “ When I realized this( elision), being the head of the association( AIFF), I took up the matter tête-à-tête to insure that their names were added so that they could get the delegation. Their names have been transferred to the organizers. The people concerned who made the donation to the ministry should have known about this. As the confederation chairman, I demanded to intrude. ”
before, the participation of the men’s and women’s football brigades in the Asian Games was uncertain due to the sports ministry’s criterion of opting brigades ranked in the top 8 in the mainland. still, the ministry ultimately cleared both brigades and allowed their participation.
