All India Football Federation (AIFF) Disciplinary Committee has served a show cause notice to FC Goa under the AIFF Disciplinary Code and ISL Regulations for ‘team misconduct’, ‘offensive behavior’, ‘threat to match officials’, ‘bringing disrepute to the game’ and ‘public criticism of match officials’.

The issue pertains to the incidents which followed the final whistle at Indian Super League final between FC Goa and Chennaiyin FC held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Fatorda on December 20.

FC Goa had in fact boycotted the presentation ceremony and the post-match press conference.

The Committee has asked the Goa management to explain why action should not be taken against the club and its officials for the breaches.

The club has been asked to respond to the notice within seven days or by January 8, 2016.
