FIFA lifts ban on All Indian Football Federation…

Published

on

FIFA has lifted the suspension imposed on the All India Football Federation (AIFF) earlier this month for undue third-party influence, world football’s governing body said on Friday.

The initial problem started with the overstaying of the former AIFF President without holding an election and the Committee of Administration did not follow the instruction given by the FIFA and High Court.

The lifting of the ban will enable the U-17 Women’s World Cup, which was scheduled to be held in India from October 11 to 30, to be held in the country as planned.

“The FIFA Council Bureau has decided to lift the ban imposed on the All India Football Federation (AIFF) due to unauthorized third party influence,” FIFA said in a statement.

“This decision has been taken following confirmation to FIFA that the administration period of the Committee of Administrators constituted to take over the powers of the AIFF Executive Committee has ended and the AIFF administration has regained full control of the day-to-day affairs of the AIFF.

“Consequently, the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup 2022 scheduled to be held from 11-30 October 2022 will be held in India as planned,” FIFA said it and the AFC will continue to monitor the situation and support the AIFF in holding its elections on time.
