State-owned Doordarshan has finally come to the rescue of All India Football Federation (AIFF), deciding to telecast three matches live from semifinals onward of the ongoing 34th Federation Cup football tournament, the AIFF said today. The AIFF, India's football governing body, drew flak when its marketing partner IMG-Reliance failed to telecast the Federation Cup football matches, the second most important football tournament after I-League, being held simultaneously at Jamshedpur, in Jharkhand and Silguri in West Bengal. Doordarshan comes after AIFF's efforts to get an international TV channel and later local TV channels to telecast the matches failed. Doordarshan Sports (DD SPORTS) will telecast two semi-final matches to be held in Siliguri on September 27 and 28 and the final on September 30. UNI PC TBA AS2203 NNNN
