No Indian football player can recall hired astrology firm
Contract worth almost 30-lakh reveals wide access to Stimac's teamNEW DELHI: It was bad enough that astrology was thought of as crucial in today's modern-day football. A company was duly contracted to probably help decide team formations based on favourable planetary alignments to help India qualify for next year's Asian Cup. Now documents accessed by TOI reveal that all of it may have been a cover for something else altogether, serious enough for a forensic audit to be initiated within the All India Football Federation (AIFF). Signed on April 29, 2022, by AIFF general secretary Kushal Das on the agreement to "assist Head Coach of National Team, Men," the AIFF had "appointed Nyassa Astrocorp (GST No. 07BBAPS4367L1Z7), for a fee of Rs 24 lakhs plus GST for a period of three months from April 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022. Bhupesh Sharma, of Nyassa Astrocorp, is the co-signatory to the agreement.
