A complaint against the football administration from the former president
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.

Chamindu Wickramasinghe’s bowling action under scrutiny?
Sri Lankan fast bowler Chamindu Wickramasinghe has come under the spotlight after his bowling action was officially reported as suspicious during a recent domestic encounter.
The incident occurred in a match of the National Super League held from April 6 to 9, where the Dambulla side faced Colombo. Wickramasinghe, representing Dambulla, drew attention from match officials, prompting concerns over the legality of his action.

The on-field umpires, Deepal Gunawardena and Ravindra Wimalasiri, made the report in accordance with standard procedures. Match referee Manoj Mendis also oversaw the process, ensuring that all regulations were followed.
Following the report, the matter has been referred to the Sri Lanka Cricket High Performance Unit for further assessment. Wickramasinghe may now be required to undergo biomechanical testing to determine whether his bowling action complies with the laws of the game.

Football Chief Jaswar Umar Enters Race for NOC Presidency
Jaswar Umar, President of the Football Federation of Sri Lanka, has officially submitted his nomination to contest for the presidency of the National Olympic Committee of Sri Lanka at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.
Umar becomes the fourth candidate in the race, joining Shirantha Peiris, Deva Henry, and Asanga Seneviratne, who are also contesting for the top position in the country’s Olympic body.
His time as football chief has created divided opinions among sports professionals who evaluate his performance. On one hand, Sri Lanka’s national team has shown improvement in international results, including a rise in the FIFA rankings from 204 to 191, along with notable performances against stronger opposition.
However, his approach has also faced criticism. Stakeholders have raised concerns over the increased reliance on Sri Lankan-origin overseas players, with claims that it has limited opportunities for local talent. The long-term vision for developing youth and building grassroots football programs has become a subject of public inquiry.
Umar now aims to advance his career through NOC while he leads Sri Lankan football with both positive results and ongoing public criticism of his work.
The upcoming election will become a competitive battle because four candidates will vie for control of a key position which holds major power within the country’s sports system.
