APF Club Roars, Demands Points Clawback in Three Star Visa Fiasco
Nepal’s APF Club is on the attack! They’ve stormed the ANFA’s appeal committee in a stunning move with a roaring demand: three points stripped from A-Division rivals Three Star over a visa controversy that threatens to ignite a league-wide inferno.
Flashback: Three Star and Jawalakhel clash in a nail-biting draw, securing Three Star’s top-flight survival while sending APF crashing down to the second division. But APF cries foul, alleging Three Star fielded foreign players with expired visas – a flagrant violation that could rewrite the season’s standings.
Armed with legal ammo: APF brandishes FIFA and AFC regulations like Excalibur, citing specific statutes and articles from Nepal’s Immigration Act and ANFA bylaws. Their argument rings clear: if Three Star flouted the rules, let them face the consequences and let justice be served on the pitch.
Points on the line, not just fines: Yes, ANFA slapped Three Star with a hefty fine, but that’s hardly enough to appease APF’s hunger for points. They demand a full-blown reversal – a cancellation of the controversial match and a points deduction that could catapult them back into the A-Division spotlight.
Upholding the beautiful game: This isn’t just about APF’s relegation angst; it’s about safeguarding the integrity of the entire A-Division. APF paints a grim picture of a league tarnished by rule-bending, urging ANFA to act swiftly and decisively to republish results and restore order.
The ball is in ANFA’s court: Can they navigate this legal labyrinth and deliver a verdict that resonates with fairness and transparency? APF has laid down the gauntlet, and football fans across Nepal are watching with bated breath. Will Three Star’s top-flight status crumble under the weight of visa woes? Or will APF be left staring longingly from the second division, their dreams turned to dust?
