Supreme Court Tells Government To Work On Lifting FIFA’s Suspension Of The AIFF

Supreme Court Tells Government To Work On Lifting FIFA’s Suspension Of The AIFF

 The Supreme Court on Wednesday told the central government to work on lifting FIFA's suspension of the All India Football Federation (AIFF). The top court in India heard the case a day after FIFA suspended India's AIFF  for "undue influence from third parties." Third-party interference means that a member association of FIFA fails to remain independent. 

Solicitor General (SG) Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, said that the Indian government has already held talks with FIFA (International Federation of Association Football) after the suspension of AIFF.

The apex court reportedly said, “On the request of SG Mehta, we ask Centre to take a proactive role to hold the U-17 World Cup and lifting of the suspension of AIFF be facilitated.” After suspending India's top football body, FIFA reportedly said that the U-17 Women's World Cup “cannot currently be held in India as planned.”

According to the Supreme Court of India, the country should "have the benefit" of hosting the U-17 Women's World Cup. Reportedly, the Indian government held two meetings with FIFA on Tuesday after it suspended the AIFF. The FIFA ban could have a drastic impact on Indian football.

This is the first time that the AIFF has been banned by FIFA. The Bureau of the FIFA council, which passed the judgment, said that there have been “flagrant violations of the FIFA Statutes.”

In a letter to Sunando Dhar, the acting secretary general of AIFF, FIFA secretary general, Fatma Samoura, said they will lift the suspension of the AIFF only after the “repeal of the CoA (Committee of Administrators) mandate in full.” This "third party" is a reference by FIFA to the actions of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators. 

Reportedly, once the AIFF administration is “fully in charge” of its daily affairs, FIFA will lift the suspension of the AIFF.
