FIFA suspends the All India Football Federation!!!
The FIFA Council Bureau has unanimously decided to suspend the All India Football Federation (AIFF) with immediate effect due to undue influence by third parties, which is a serious violation of the FIFA Statutes.
On May 12, the Supreme Court of India heard an appeal by the Delhi Football Club alleging that Praful Patel, who is the president of the AIFF, continues to hold office illegally despite his term ending in December 2020.
During the trial, Judge D.Y. Chandrachud led by Justices Surya Kanth and P.S. Narasimha ordered the former Chief Election Commissioner S.Y. Qureshi and former Indian football Captain Bhaskar Ganguly members should lead the federation until a new CoA body is elected. In accordance with a new AIFF constitution. The current committee of administrators is to carry out the day-to-day governance of the All India Football Federation, adding that the CoA will be free to take the help of the erstwhile AIFF committee to conduct tournaments, select players and run them. But they have not changed the administration of AIFF for more than three months as per the order.
The FIFA suspension was lifted after the order to restore the powers of the AIFF Executive Committee and set up a Committee of Administrators was revoked and the AIFF administration regained full control over the day-to-day affairs of the AIFF.
As a result of this suspension, it is notable that the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup 2022 scheduled to be held in India from 11-30 October 2022 cannot be held in India as currently planned. FIFA is assessing the next steps regarding the tournament and will refer it to the Council Bureau if and when necessary. FIFA is in constant constructive engagement with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports in India and hopes that a positive outcome can still be achieved.

அகில இந்திய கால்பந்து கூட்டமைப்பை ஃபிஃபா சஸ்பெண்ட் செய்தது!!!
மூன்றாம் தரப்பினரின் தேவையற்ற செல்வாக்கு காரணமாக அகில இந்திய கால்பந்து கூட்டமைப்பை (AIFF) FIFA சட்டங்களை கடுமையாக மீறுவதன் காரணமாக உடனடியாக இடைநீக்கம் செய்ய FIFA கவுன்சில் ஒருமனதாக முடிவு செய்துள்ளது.
2020 டிசம்பரில் AIFF இன் தலைவராக இருக்கும் பிரஃபுல் படேலின் பதவிக் காலம் முடிவடைந்த போதிலும், சட்ட விரோதமாக பதவியில் நீடிப்பதாக டெல்லி கால்பந்து கிளப்பின் மேல்முறையீட்டை மே 12 அன்று, இந்திய உச்ச நீதிமன்றம் விசாரித்தது.
விசாரணையின் போது, நீதிபதி டி.ஒய். சந்திரசூட் தலைமையிலான நீதிபதிகள் சூர்ய காந்த் மற்றும் பி.எஸ். நரசிம்மா உத்தரவிட்டார், முன்னாள் தலைமை தேர்தல் ஆணையர் எஸ்.ஒய். குரேஷி மற்றும் முன்னாள் இந்திய கால்பந்து கேப்டன் பாஸ்கர் கங்குலி ஆகியோர் உறுப்பினர்களாக புதிய CoA அமைப்பு தேர்ந்தெடுக்கப்படும் வரை கூட்டமைப்பை வழிநடத்த வேண்டும். புதிய AIFF அரசியலமைப்பின் படி தற்போதைய நிர்வாகிகள் குழு, அகில இந்திய கால்பந்து சம்மேளனத்தின் அன்றாட நிர்வாகத்தை மேற்கொள்வதாகும், மேலும் போட்டிகளை நடத்துவதற்கும், வீரர்களைத் தேர்ந்தெடுப்பதற்கும், அவற்றை நடத்துவதற்கும் முன்னாள் AIFF குழுவின் உதவியைப் பெற CoA சுதந்திரமாக இருக்கும் என்றும் கூறினார். ஆனால் இந்த உத்தரவுக்கு எதிராக மூன்று மாதங்களுக்கு மேலாகியும் நிர்வாகத்தில் எந்த மாற்றமும் செய்யவில்லை.
AIFF செயற்குழுவின் அதிகாரங்களை மீட்டெடுப்பதற்கும், நிர்வாகிகள் குழுவை ரத்து செய்யப்பட்ட பின்னர், AIFF நிர்வாகம் AIFF இன் அன்றாட விவகாரங்களில் முழுக் கட்டுப்பாட்டை மீட்டெடுத்த பிறகு ஃபிஃபா இடைநீக்கம் நீக்கப்படும்.
இந்த இடைநீக்கத்தின் விளைவாக, இந்தியாவில் 2022 அக்டோபர் 11-30 வரை நடைபெறவிருந்த FIFA U-17 மகளிர் உலகக் கோப்பை 2022 தற்போது திட்டமிட்டபடி இந்தியாவில் நடத்த முடியாது என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது. ஃபிஃபா போட்டிகள் தொடர்பான அடுத்த படிகளை மதிப்பீடு செய்து வருகிறது, தேவைப்பட்டால், கவுன்சில் பணியகத்திற்கு அனுப்பும். இந்தியாவில் இளைஞர் விவகாரங்கள் மற்றும் விளையாட்டு அமைச்சகத்துடன் FIFA தொடர்ந்து ஆக்கபூர்வமான ஈடுபாட்டைக் கொண்டுள்ளது, மேலும் இது சம்பந்தமாக ஒரு நேர்மறையான முடிவை இன்னும் அடைய முடியும் என்று நம்புகிறது.

Rumesh Extends European Dominance with Ostrava Gold
Sri Lanka’s rising athletics star Rumesh Tharanga Pathiragae reinforced his status as one of the world’s premier javelin throwers by capturing gold at the prestigious Ostrava Golden Spike meeting in the Czech Republic on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old delivered another commanding performance at the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event, producing a winning throw of 86.57 metres to finish comfortably ahead of a high-quality international field.
Rumesh signaled his intentions from the outset with an opening effort of 85.87m before improving to 86.30m in the second round. He then produced his best throw of the day, 86.57m, in the third round, a mark that remained unbeaten for the rest of the competition.
Grenada’s double world champion Anderson Peters had to settle for second place with 84.27m, while South Africa’s Douw Smit completed the podium with a throw of 83.90m.
The latest triumph comes just weeks after Rumesh announced himself on the global stage with a sensational 92.62m effort in Rome, a throw that elevated him to eighth place on the all-time world rankings and established him as a genuine contender for major international honours.
Unlike in Rome, where he arrived as an emerging talent, Rumesh entered the Ostrava meet carrying the weight of expectation. Widely regarded as the athlete to beat in men’s javelin this season, the Sri Lankan was among the headline attractions of the competition and featured prominently in pre-event promotions.

Sports Minister Warns Rugby Federation of Disciplinary Action Over Visa Fiasco
Minister of Sports Sunil Kumara Gamage has announced that disciplinary action will be taken against the Sri Lanka Rugby Federation following the national team’s failure to obtain visas for its scheduled Asian Rugby Championship match against South Korea, resulting in the cancellation of the fixture last week.
Addressing reporters, the Minister emphasized that the responsibility for securing travel documents and making logistical arrangements rests entirely with the relevant sports federation and not with the Ministry of Sports.
Gamage stated that federations are expected to make visa applications and travel arrangements well in advance and cannot rely on last-minute interventions. He described the incident as a clear case of negligence on the part of the Rugby Federation.
“The Sports Ministry does not intervene in visa or ticket processes. If funding is provided, we cover expenses, but team selection and visa arrangements are solely the federation’s responsibility. The Federation cannot request a visa on Monday if the team is to travel on Wednesday. This is the Federation’s negligence. This is not a government issue; it is an issue of the Federation or Association. We will take disciplinary action, as we have done before,” the Minister said.
He further stressed that such administrative failures cannot be allowed to continue, noting that sports federations often attempt to shift responsibility to the Ministry when shortcomings arise.
The Minister reiterated that the Rugby Federation must be held accountable for the cancellation of the international fixture, adding that the matter has also attracted attention in Parliament.
The cancellation of the Asian Rugby Championship match has raised concerns over the management and administrative efficiency of the sport’s governing body, with calls for greater accountability to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Online Abuse Targets Sri Lanka A Cricketer After Match Incident
Sri Lanka A player Vishen Halambage has reportedly become the latest victim of online harassment after a match-related confrontation with India A batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi sparked widespread discussion on social media.
The incident occurred during Sri Lanka A’s dramatic Super Over triumph over India A in the Tri-Nation Series on Monday. Footage showing a tense exchange between the two young cricketers quickly spread across social media platforms, drawing significant attention from cricket fans.
Following the match, Halambage’s Instagram account was flooded with critical and abusive messages, with many comments reportedly originating from social media users reacting to the on-field altercation. Unverified reports also suggested that individuals connected to the player were subjected to online harassment.
By Tuesday, Halambage’s Instagram profile appeared to be inaccessible. While some reports indicated that the account may have been blocked or restricted after receiving numerous complaints, the exact reason remains unclear. Neither the player nor Instagram has publicly commented on the matter.
The episode has once again brought attention to the growing issue of online abuse in sport, where athletes particularly younger players can face intense backlash following high-profile incidents. Sports analysts and observers have repeatedly called for greater efforts to curb harassment on digital platforms and promote responsible fan engagement.
The match itself ended in a memorable victory for Sri Lanka A, but the events that followed have shifted attention toward the challenges athletes face beyond the boundary ropes.
