India, Nov. 4 -- The All India Football Federation (AIFF) is facing a major financial challenge after reportedly falling behind on appearance fee payments to Brazil and Uruguay following India's recent international friendlies. AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey proposed breaking the federation's Rs.20 crore fixed deposit to clear the pending dues, but the move was opposed by several members during a Special General Body Meeting.

According to a Times of India report, Brazil are awaiting approximately Rs.19 crore, while Uruguay are yet to receive around Rs.4.7 crore. Both countries have reportedly received only 50 per cent of their appearance fees, while Panama have been paid in full.
