New Delhi: Indian Sports Minister MS Gill is to meet FIFA President Sepp Blatter more than a month after Indian national team coach Bob Houghton criticised him for ridiculing his boys.
Gill invited the wrath of Houghton when he had earlier stated that the present Indian team would even lose to an Australian school side! In reply to his comments, Houghton asked as to what has the minister done for football in the country before making such insulting comments.
"Mr.Gill will be in Zurich for some meetings. So while in Switzerland, he also would go to the FIFA House," said Injeti Srinivasan, who is the joint secretary of the sports ministry.
It is learnt that the All India Football Federation (AIFF) General Secretary, Alberto Colaco would accompany him in the trip in order to acquaint the distinguished minister with the FIFA officials.
The meeting is likely to take place on the 11th of this month.
