According to FIFA, which governs the world’s most popular sport, the suspension will be lifted once the Indian Supreme Court’s order to establish a Committee of Administrators (CoA) to take charge of the AIFF is reversed and the charge is returned to the AIFF administrators. Furthermore, until the suspension is lifted and the AIFF is reinstated as a member state, the Indian team will be unable to play any international matches.
According to FIFA, which governs the world’s most popular sport, the suspension will be lifted once the Indian Supreme Court’s order to establish a Committee of Administrators (CoA) to take charge of the AIFF is reversed and the charge is returned to the AIFF administrators. FIFA, like the majority of global sports governing bodies, prohibits outside interference in national governing bodies.
Since the Supreme Court ousted the Praful Patel-led administration and appointed a three-member CoA to implement changes in accordance with the National Sports Code, the threat of a ban has loomed large. Patel had been president of the AIFF for the previous 13 years, and under the new National Sports Code, he was ineligible to run for re-election.
FIFA was opposed to the country’s sports being governed by a committee appointed by the Supreme Court.
The threat had been looming since the Supreme Court took control of the situation, but the suspension stunned fans.
You have to feel sorry for our Under-17 girls, who will bear the brunt of the consequences of this shambles?
‘Disgraceful Day For Indian Sport’ FIFA bans AIFF and deprives India of hosting rights for the U-17 Women’s World Cup.
