The bureau of the FIFA Council unanimously decided to suspend the All India Football Federation with immediate effect for ‘unwarranted interference’

A very bad news has come out for India in the field of sports. FIFA dealt a big blow to India, which was preparing to organize FIFA’s tournament next year. FIFA has suspended the All India Football Federation with immediate effect, citing undue influence of third parties. Also, the hosting of FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup 2022 to be held in India in October has also been cancelled.

In this regard, a statement published by FIFA said that the Bureau of the FIFA Council has unanimously decided to suspend the All India Football Federation with immediate effect for “unwarranted interference”. This is a serious violation of FIFA rules. Further, FIFA has said that the suspension will be lifted after the order to constitute a Committee of Administrators to assume the powers of the All India Football Federation Executive Committee and the All India Football Federation administration to have full control over the day-to-day affairs. . At the same time, regarding the organization of the Under-17 Women’s World Cup to be held in October, FIFA said that it is assessing the next steps regarding the tournament and if necessary, the matter will be referred to the bureau.

Let us tell you that earlier this month, FIFA had warned the All India Football Federation to suspend it for the same reason. AIFF elections are to be held on August 28. The matter is to be heard in the Supreme Court on August 17.
