The committee addressed key administrative matters, including the formation of a dedicated body to oversee complaints from Kator FC. Notably, Kator FC received the green light to proceed with its General Assembly, provided it aligns with SSFF Statutes.
On the technical front, the EXCO officially adopted recommendations for appointment of the National Team’s Technical Staff. To optimize performance, the Federation is prioritizing the Women’s Senior National Team and the U17 squads ahead of their June fixtures. Efforts are also underway to finalize technical benches for the U17 and U20 categories to ensure developmental consistency.
