AIFF Bars Jharkhand From Playing Santosh Trophy, Women's Championship

Owing to internal conflicts within the management of the Jharkhand Football Association (JFA), the All India Football Federation (AIFF) barred Jharkhand in the Santosh Trophy and National Women's championship. Reportedly, the AIFF ''entered into resolution communion with the management of JFA immediately'' after receiving four lists in total for the game. However, the issue couldn't be resolved within the time so the AIFF reportedly decided to not entertain any team.
