Kalyan Chaubey elected as new AIFF president NA Haris to be his 2nd-in-command

By Sayantan Guha Modified 02 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Kalyan Chaubey beat Bhaichung Bhutia by 33-1 votes. (Twitter) The All India Football Federation (AIFF) elected Kalyan Chaubey, 45, as their new president on Friday (September 2) during the general body meeting (GBM). The former Mohun Bagan and East Bengal goalkeeper pipped Indian football legend Bhaichung Bhutia by a margin of 33-1 votes. Chaubey's election comes after a tumultuous saga in Indian football, which saw the AIFF being suspended by FIFA owing to "undue third-party influence". The country's footballing fraternity will hope that Praful Patel's successor can right the wrongs during his tenure. He is the first former professional footballer to be elected to the top job in 85 years of its existence.

Meanwhile, Bhaichung’s name was proposed by Gopalakrishna Kosaraju, the president of the Andhra Pradesh Football Association and seconded by Dileep Singh Shekhawat, the secretary of the Rajasthan Football Association. The new AIFF boss was an established footballer during his professional stint, winning the 'Goalkeeper of the Year' award twice (1997-98 and 2001-02). His immediate duty as the new president will be to overlook the smooth sailing of the upcoming FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup that will be hosted by India in October.
