Legal Team Ready To Advise Against Potential Pitfalls: AFI On 'Mandatory Approval' Rule For Athlete Sponsorship
The Athletics Federation: The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) on Wednesday clarified its decision of mandatory prior approval for athlete sponsorship agreements with the federation, saying this is to safeguard the interests of both athletes and sponsors and that its legal team will be on hand to "advise the athletes against potential pitfalls".
Last week, AFI made it mandatory for athletes to obtain prior approval from the federation before entering into any agreement or contract with a sponsor or third party.
"AFI is aware of the response to its recent decision to make it mandatory for athletes to obtain its approval before agreeing with a third party. This considered decision has come in the wake of some sponsors drawing AFI's attention. We want the athletes to focus on their training and competition rather than get caught up in signing contracts," it said in a statement.
