The nominations of five individuals including the president of Anuradhapura District Football Association Dacshitha Sumathipala have been rejected by the Football Federation of Sri Lanka (FFSL) electoral committee.

In late July, a three-member committee was appointed by Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Roshan Ranasinghe to call for and hold the FFSL elections.

The electoral committee has accepted the nominations of 08 remaining candidates from Sumathipala’s camp while accepting all nominations submitted by his rival faction led by former president Jaswar Umar, who vies for the FFSL presidency.

Accordingly, Jaswar Umar’s camp has gained more chances to win the election, scheduled to be held on September 29.
