In a series of tweets footballer, Godwin Franco has alleged corruption in the Indian football. Godwin, who has won Indian Super League (ISL) title with Chennaiyin FC in 2015, took to Twitter and shared screenshots of his email conversation with Football Players' Association of India (FPAI). The footballer also claimed to have sent an email to FIFPro (International Federation of Professional Footballers) as well. Godwin claimed that FPAI in reply to one of his queries told him to use the “unrighteous methods” to get into the club.

The 33-year-old shared three screenshots- 1) which he claims to be part of an email to FIFpro and FPAI. 2) A reply from the FPAI and 3) his reply to the FPAI’s response. “With the best interest, please read this and read from the picture posted - the corrupt attitude in Indian Football. I have the emails with me. 1. Part of my email to fifpro [International Federation of Professional Footballers] & the Football Players Association of India in relation to justice for football players in India,” Godwin wrote in one of his tweets.

“The immoral reply to me from Football Players Association of India which says, ‘if you claim that there are Agents who get players "in", why do you not use these same agents?’,” the midfielder tweeted.

In his third tweet, Godwin, who has represented India twice, made it clear that he will never ever play club football in India. “(Firstly I do not want to and will not play professional football in India again) My reply to that to the football players association of india. “Please donot tell me to use unrighteous methods of getting into clubs. This is totally wrong on your part to tell me to do this,” he wrote.

Godwin also alleged that some of the players do not have the abilities to play football but through corrupt means they progress.

The 33-year-old midfielder further alleged that due to corruption, the quality of football in India has been poor.

Godwin ended the thread with a message that no one will escape the justice of God.
