AIFF announces insurance cover for players

KOKLATA DEC. 8. The All India Football Federation announced the insurance of the players, officials and referees in the ongoing OIL PSU VII National Football League. The long promised venture was finally announced by the AIFF president Mr. Priya Ranjan Das Munshi here at a press conference hosted by the sponsors on Sunday.

Without going into much details about the plan, the president broadly indicated that as per the Rs. 1.5 lakh policy, drawn in association with the United India Assurance company, the victims would be reimbursed upto Rs.50,000 in case of hospitalisation under a Mediclaim scheme. In case the covered person was incapacitated by injury or accident, he would be given an invalidity assurance. The AIFF will be paying the premiums and the deal with the insurer will formalised on Monday. The AIFF secretary Alberto Colaco, also present at the press meet, said that a random dope test of the players is likely to start from the second phase of the tournament.
