The All India Football Federation (AIFF) thanked the Qatar Football Association for their help, co-operation and understanding in helping the Blue Tigers to assemble in Doha and start the camp, all in an effort to take football forward together.
“We are extremely grateful and thankful to the Qatar FA for the manner they went out of the way and helped us begin our camp in Qatar early. The Group E World Cup Qualifiers will be played from inside a secure bio bubble. We understand that there are certain mandatory health parameters which we need to adhere to upon arrival in Doha, which we will with complete diligence,” AIFF General Secretary Mr. Kushal Das said.
“The AIFF President, Mr. Praful Patel, had detailed chats with the President of the Qatar FA who raised our concern with the Prime Minister’s Office, after which the 10-day quarantine period was waived off,” Das said.
