  • There is no hope in sight for the disbanded Fransa-Pax Football Club players. And the way luck has deserted them, they could just end up without receiving their dues. In addition, going by the headcount some of the outstation players have begun to leave Goa.

    With two days left to the April 6, deadline set by AIFF to help Fransa-Pax players register themselves with other clubs approaching, Kerala-based Mohammed Nizam has left for Kolkata in hope to play.

    According to room mate Mark Mascaranhas, Mohammedan Sporting is interested in Nizam, and the latter is hell bent in getting back to playing ways and hopes Fransa-Pax chairman Mickky Pacheco sticks to his word of honouring the players contracts only till March 22.

    Both Sporting and Nizam may have struck a verbal deal, but AIFF’s condition where in each player wishing to join another club would need to obtain a release from their contracts with Fransa-Pax, may spike any deal.

    Till date no player, despite approaching Pacheco, have received any sort of clearance. Says Mascharanas, “every time we go we are told to wait another two days.”

    While AIFF general secretary, Alberto Colaco understands the plight of the players, he claims that no Fransa player has officially written to them. “If they do so, we can take the matter forward,” he says.
