AIFF to charter flight to take players to Abha

The All-India Football Federation (AIFF) will hire a chartered flight for players travelling to Abha, Saudi Arabia for the FIFA World Cup qualifier against Afghanistan on March 21. Head coach Igor Stimac earlier informed AIFF chief Kalyan Chaubey that the team would have to change the flight thrice, it would also cost the team two days of precious training time and acclimatisation at a high-altitude place like Abha, which is 2270 metres above sea level.
