Imphal, December 21 2019:
All Manipur Football Association (AMFA) has revoked the decision to sideline referee N Ibungo with immediate effect from December 20, 2019 .
The decision was taken by AMFA's Executive Council in a meeting held yesterday after carefully examining the application submitted by referee N Ibungo, who was sidelined (for a period of 6 months) since December 6 as a fallout of an on-field incident in a football tournament.
Meanwhile, the executive council of AMFA has suspended 8 match officials for 1 year from December 21, 2019 for their non cooperation and behaviour.
The council decided to keep the officials under suspension after discussing on violations of Referees' Code of Conduct by some match commissioners and referees even though they were notified several time to cooperate AMFA.
The match officials who have been suspended by AMFA are match commissioners : H Khamba Singh, M Magho Singh and I Rabichandra and referees: S Kennedy Singh, L Ajitkumar Meitei, Ng Anand Singh, Md Latif Ali and A Dilip Singh.
