They have failed to produce any possible evidence.

He stated in front of the media that since February 2022, the monthly accounts have not been given to the members and in addition, for the renovation of the football house, nearly 600 lakhs have been spent It has also been revealed that only 400 Lakhs has been spent to build the Football house.

He further stated that in a short period of six months over a billion has been spent and Sri Lankan football can’t afford so much money. Mr Rodrigo had stated that even after informing the authorities (Ministry, Police, and FIFA) about this, there was no proper answer from them and that former president Jaswar Umar should be fully responsible for the current state of Sri Lankan football.

By

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.
