AIFF Hands Inter Kashi a Replica I-League Trophy as CAS Ruling Stands

Churchill Brothers retain the original trophy, pursuing challenges in Swiss and Indian courts.

Overview

  • AIFF presented the replica in Bambolim after Inter Kashi’s Super Cup group match against Jamshedpur FC.
  • The federation said it acted after legal consultation based on operative CAS decisions and a Swiss tribunal order denying suspensive effect.
  • Churchill Brothers refused to return the original trophy, called the presentation disrespectful, and say the matter remains before Switzerland’s Federal Tribunal.
  • The Goan club has also moved the Delhi High Court seeking Inter Kashi’s disqualification for alleged rule breaches.
  • CAS restored three points from the Namdhari match to Inter Kashi, flipping the table to 42 points and confirming promotion, with reports citing over Rs 3.5 crore in legal costs.
