A female employee at the All Indian Football Federation (AIFF) headquarters here has filed a “verbal” complaint of “harassment” against a male colleague, a source in the national body said. However, the woman has yet to file formal charges. Nevertheless, the AIFF’s Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) met on Tuesday to discuss the matter, for which it sought time, before proceeding with its complaint. “She made an oral complaint and despite not doing so in writing and not pressing for charges, the ICC escalated the matter and the committee met to discuss the matter. She has sought time to decide whether or not to file charges,” a spokesperson for the International Criminal Court said. AIFF source told PTI.

“At this point we don’t even know what the nature of the allegations or harassment is. The ICC will submit a report within a few days,” he said.

In January, the AIFF set up the Internal Complaints Committee under Chapter II (4.1) of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.

The AIFF has been plagued by controversies of late with allegations of corruption leveled against President Kalyan Chaubey.

The misery was compounded by the men’s national team’s shock loss to under-strength Afghanistan in the 2026 World Cup qualifier on Tuesday in Guwahati.
