A complaint against the football administration from the former president

Published

on

Former President Mr Anura de Silva has complained to the Minister of Sports that the selection committee has violated several new sports regulations regarding the nominations submitted for the football selection to be held on the 14th.

Accordingly, in his complaint, it has been stated that there is doubt regarding the decision taken regarding the acceptance of the nomination of this year’s presidential candidate Mr Jaswar Umar.

Under the new Sports Act enacted by the Minister of Sports, Section 31, Section 41 of Act No. 25 of 1973 was renewed and it was found that Mr Jaswar Umar had been recommended as guilty of a charge under “disqualifications for holding office in a sports association”, so his nomination was accepted. There is doubt about how.

Mr Anura de Silva has also asked about the fact that if certain decisions were changed according to the new act in this election, why was this issue not addressed?

Currently, the Ministry of Sports has asked for an appeal of Rs. 50 000 will be charged, while earlier this amount was Rs. 6000 In case the appeal is accepted as correct, the amount will be refunded.

It was noticeable that 24 of the 43 nominations submitted for 11 positions in the Executive Committee were rejected for the election to be held on January 14.

At the same time, all the nominations for the posts of Assistant-Treasurer and Assistant-Secretary were rejected.

Uzbekistan Dominate Sri Lanka 10-0 in AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026 Qualifiers

Published

Colombo, June 29 – The Sri Lanka Women’s National Football Team suffered a crushing 10-0 defeat at the hands of Uzbekistan in their opening fixture of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026 Qualifiers, exposing not only the performance gap on the field but also the deep-rooted structural failures off it.

From kickoff, Uzbekistan showcased their superiority with relentless attacking football, scoring five goals in each half. The match statistics tell a story of complete dominance:

  • Shots on Target: 14 (Uzbekistan) vs 0 (Sri Lanka)
  • Possession: 70% (Uzbekistan) vs 30% (Sri Lanka)
  • Dangerous Attacks: 137 (Uzbekistan) vs 28 (Sri Lanka)

Sri Lanka managed only two shots in the entire match—none of which tested the opposition goalkeeper—while spending most of the game pinned back in defense.

However, beyond the scoreboard, this defeat highlights a more alarming truth: the lack of commitment to women’s football by local authorities. The Football Federation of Sri Lanka (FFSL) has failed to organize a single women’s tournament domestically in recent years, and the squad selected for this major continental qualifier was chosen solely through a limited trial. There was no competitive platform or league for players to develop or prove themselves ahead of international duty.

This performance is not just a reflection of the players’ inexperience—it’s a direct consequence of administrative negligence. FFSL must take full responsibility for this embarrassing result, as it continues to send underprepared teams to international tournaments merely to safeguard its position, rather than genuinely investing in the development of Sri Lankan football.

Even more concerning is the silence from the Ministry of Sports. Despite the humiliating performances of the Under-20 team in the recent SAFF Championship and now the senior women’s team in the AFC qualifiers, no action has been taken, and no accountability has been demanded. The ministry’s indifference to these repeated failures raises serious questions about its role in ensuring sports governance and development in Sri Lanka.

As Sri Lankan football continues to struggle, it is clear that without structural change, genuine investment, and accountability, results like these will only continue.
