India has yet to fully compensate Brazil and Uruguay for their international friendly matches last month. The All India Football Federation's (AIFF) efforts to settle the outstanding dues were thwarted by its general body members. The AIFF had invited five-time world champions Brazil and former World Cup winners Uruguay to play at Kolkata.
Panama also hosted a friendly in Bengaluru, but has received its full appearance fee, whereas Brazil and Uruguay have reportedly received only half of what they are owed. Brazil reportedly owes Rs 12 million in seat cover expenses that remained in the sun. The AIFF's financial troubles have been exacerbated by lower-than-expected ticket sales and a pending return of a portion of ticketing revenue as a recoupable advance. The federation is now forming a core group to investigate the outstanding payments.
