The Bureau of the FIFA Council has unanimously decided to suspend the All India Football Federation (AIFF), said the Federation in a press release on Tuesday.
FIFA’s decision came as an immediate effect due to undue influence from third parties, which constitutes a serious violation of the FIFA Statutes.
Additionally, FIFA said the suspension will be lifted once an order to set up a committee of administrators to assume the powers of the AIFF Executive Committee has been repealed and the AIFF administration regains full control of the AIFF’s daily affairs.
The suspension means that the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup 2022™, scheduled to take place in India on 11-30 October 2022, cannot currently be held in India as planned, added the same source.
“FIFA is in constant constructive contact with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports in India and is hopeful that a positive outcome to the case may still be achieved,” concluded the federation in the press release.
