In an outrageous move, the Manipur Football Association demanded Rs 4 lakh each from teams to participate in the 16th Manipur State League scheduled in the first week of February at the Artificial Turf Ground, Lamlong Thongkhong.

Seven district associations - Ukhrul, Senapati, Chandel, Moirang, Bishnupur, Kakching and Thoubal - have been asked to recommend a team each by January 10 to bid for participation rights. Manipur FA has 14 district associations.

Worngachan Shatsang, a Grassroots Football enthusiast, revealed the details of the notification issued by Manipur FA on January 3 in an X post.
