Indian Football Round-up: 5 Biggest Controversies of 2018 

#3 Six5Six Kits being Delayed

Until a couple of weeks before, the Indian football team could boast of their kits sponsored by giants - Nike. But this could only be limited to words as the brand had no interest or intention of actually sponsoring the team kits.

Unconfirmed reports even say, players had to reuse their jerseys for multiple matches. The public also had no option to purchase the kits of their favourite Blues.

However, everyone expected a change when a new sponsor was announced on December 19 - Indian company Six5Six on a 5-year agreement. The company didn't disappoint as the merchandises were open for purchase by the public, from the very next day.

But recent reports indicate that India's trouble with kits are not over as Six5Six has failed to provide the team with jerseys and training kits ahead of the friendly with Oman. This has forced the team to train with the old practice kits sponsored by Nike, which has kept the sessions out of sight from public.

There are no confirmations of the kits being received so far and the players might have to wait till the final hours before the friendly to get their new colours.

Coming to a close of the year, AIFF and Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) has created yet another controversy with poor management of the routine activities.
