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lifted after the order to restore the powers of the AIFF Executive Committee and set up a Committee of Administrators was revoked and the AIFF administration regained full control over the day-to-day affairs of the AIFF.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.

Wanindu Hasaranga Ruled Out of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Due to Hamstring Injury
Sri Lanka’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign has suffered a massive setback, with star all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga ruled out of the remainder of the tournament due to a hamstring injury.
Medical scans conducted after Sri Lanka’s opening match against Ireland confirmed that the leg-spinning all-rounder will require several weeks of rehabilitation, effectively ending his participation in the global showpiece event.
Hasaranga, a central figure in Sri Lanka’s T20 plans over the past few years, sustained the injury during the early stages of the tournament. His absence leaves a significant void in both the bowling and lower-middle-order batting departments.
Widely regarded as one of the most dangerous T20 bowlers in world cricket, Hasaranga’s impact in ICC tournaments has been remarkable. With 40 wickets, he currently stands as the second-highest wicket-taker in T20 World Cup history — a statistic that underlines the scale of the blow to the co-hosts.
Beyond the numbers, Hasaranga’s ability to break partnerships in crucial moments and provide quick runs under pressure has made him indispensable to Sri Lanka’s balance in white-ball cricket.
Attention now turns to potential replacements. Leg-spinner Dushan Hemantha is expected to be named as Hasaranga’s replacement, pending official approval from Sri Lanka Cricket and the ICC Event Technical Committee. While Hemantha offers promise and attacking intent, stepping into the shoes of Sri Lanka’s premier match-winner will be a formidable challenge.
As of now, Sri Lanka Cricket is yet to issue a formal statement confirming the squad alteration.
With the tournament still in its early stages, Sri Lanka must now regroup quickly. The onus will fall on the remaining senior bowlers to shoulder added responsibility as the hosts attempt to keep their World Cup ambitions alive without one of their most influential players

“I Just Wanted to Score a Few Boundaries” – Kamindu Mendis Stars as Sri Lanka Beat Ireland in T20 World Cup Opener
Sri Lanka’s decision to draft in Kamindu Mendis at the last moment proved inspired, as the all-rounder produced a match-turning knock to guide the hosts to a 20-run victory over Ireland in their opening match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Sunday.
Coming in with Sri Lanka in trouble at 86 for 4, Kamindu counter-attacked with a blistering 44 off just 19 deliveries, striking four boundaries and two sixes to swing momentum firmly in the hosts’ favour. His innings transformed a faltering batting effort into a competitive total of 163.
I just wanted to score a few boundaries and put a partnership with Kusal Mendis
Kusal was outstanding today. He deserves a lot of credit. We wanted someone to bat through the innings.
Kusal Mendis played the anchor role to perfection, remaining unbeaten on a composed half-century and ensuring Sri Lanka batted through their 20 overs — something that looked unlikely during the middle phase of the innings.
Sri Lanka’s bowling unit then delivered a disciplined performance, led by their spin trio of Maheesh Theekshana, Wanindu Hasaranga and Dunith Wellalage, who shared seven wickets to derail Ireland’s chase. Hasaranga claimed three scalps, taking his overall T20 World Cup wicket tally to 40 — second only to Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan (50).
There was a brief scare for Sri Lanka when Hasaranga limped off after his second over, sparking concern over his fitness. However, the skipper returned to complete his spell, easing fears ahead of the remaining group matches.
Ireland showed early promise, with George Dockrell returning impressive figures of 2 for 17 and a solid 49-run partnership between Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tector keeping them in the contest. But once spin was introduced in tandem, the visitors struggled to maintain momentum.
From 105 for 2, Ireland lost wickets in quick succession and were eventually bowled out for 143 in 19.5 overs, with Matheesha Pathirana picking up two wickets in the final over.
They got about 15 runs too many,” admitted Ireland captain Paul Stirling.
We were a bit sloppy in the field and we’ve got plenty of work to do before the next game. Spin is going to play a big role in this tournament, and that’s something we need to adapt to quickly.
Co-hosting the 20-team tournament alongside defending champions India, Sri Lanka could not have asked for a better start. The victory not only earned crucial points but also injected confidence into a campaign that carries high expectations on home soil
