India Football Federation: The President of the All-India Football Federation (AIFF), Kalyan Chaubey, has sent his deepest condolences to the victims of the ‘heinous terrorist attack’ on tourists in Pahalgam on Tuesday. The attack occurred in the serene Baisaran Valley, a scenic meadow approximately six kilometres from the popular tourist town of Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir. Terrorists opened fire on a group of tourists and locals, resulting in 26 fatalities and injuries to many others.
“On behalf of the entire Indian football fraternity, we express our deepest condolences on the tragic loss of lives in the heinous terrorist attack in Pahalgam,” read the statement by the AIFF President.
A minute’s silence was observed before the Kalinga Super Cup 2025 Round of 16 match between Bengaluru FC and Inter Kashi, which the latter went on to win on penalties, at the Kalinga Stadium, in Bhubaneswar, in remembrance of the victims. Both teams wore black armbands in mourning.
