Former President of the Football Federation of Sri Lanka (FFSL), Jaswar Umar has been re-elected as the President of Football Sri Lanka.
According to reports, Jaswar Umar was elected as President in a 45-20 vote held today.
The Football Federation of Sri Lanka was suspended by FIFA from January 21, 2023, due to third-party interference in matters related to the Federation and complaints over the Sri Lanka Football elections held in January, 2023.
However, the ban imposed on FFSL by the global governing body of soccer, FIFA, was lifted in August as the Federation had met the criteria that were laid out for the suspension of the sanction.
The FFSL had met the criteria, including the adoption of an electoral roadmap for elections to take place on 29 September 2023.
As per the FFSL’s electoral roadmap, the elections were held today in which Jaswar Umar was re-elected as the President. (NewsWire)
