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lifted after the order to restore the powers of the AIFF Executive Committee and set up a Committee of Administrators was revoked and the AIFF administration regained full control over the day-to-day affairs of the AIFF.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

FIFA කවුන්සිලයේ කාර්යාංශය FIFA ප්රඥප්ති බරපතල ලෙස උල්ලංඝනය කිරීමක් වන තෙවන පාර්ශවයන්ගේ අනිසි බලපෑම් හේතුවෙන් වහාම ක්රියාත්මක වන පරිදි සමස්ත ඉන්දීය පාපන්දු සම්මේලනය (AIFF) අත්හිටුවීමට ඒකමතිකව තීරණය කර ඇත.
2020 දෙසැම්බරයේදී AIFF හි සභාපති වන ප්රෆුල් පටෙල් ධුර කාලය අවසන් වුවද නීතී විරෝධි ලෙස දිගටම තනතුරු වල රැදී සිටින බවට චෝදනා කරමින් දිල්ලි පාපන්දු සමාජයේ අභියාචනයක් ඉන්දීය ශ්රේෂ්ඨාධිකරණය මැයි 12 දින විභාගයට ගන්නා ලදි.

AIFF විධායක කමිටුවේ බලතල නැවත ප්රතිථාපනය කිරීම හා පරිපාලකයින්ගේ කමිටුවක් පිහිටුවීමේ නියෝගය අවලංගු කළ පසු සහ AIFF පරිපාලනය AIFF හි දෛනික කටයුතුවල පූර්ණ පාලනය නැවත ලබා ගත් පසු අත්හිටුවීම ඉවත් කරනු ලැබීය.
මෙම අත්හිටුවීමෙන් බලපෑමක් ලෙස 2022 ඔක්තෝබර් 11- 30 දිනවල ඉන්දියාවේ පැවැත්වීමට නියමිත FIFA U-17 කාන්තා ලෝක කුසලාන 2022, දැනට සැලසුම් කර ඇති පරිදි ඉන්දියාවේ පැවැත්විය නොහැකි වීම කැපී පෙනේ. FIFA විසින් තරඟාවලිය සම්බන්ධයෙන් මීළඟ පියවර තක්සේරු කරමින් සිටින අතර, අවශ්ය නම් සහ අවශ්ය විටක එය කවුන්සිලයේ කාර්යාංශය වෙත යොමු කරනු ඇත. FIFA ඉන්දියාවේ යෞවන කටයුතු හා ක්රීඩා අමාත්යාංශය සමඟ නිරන්තර සාධනීය සම්බන්ධකම් පවත්වමින් සිටින අතර මේ සම්බන්ධයෙන් ධනාත්මක ප්රතිඵලයක් තවමත් ලබා ගත හැකි වනු ඇතැයි බලාපොරොත්තු වේ.
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.

Pathirana, Wanindu, Eshan Await Fitness Nod for IPL 2026
Sri Lanka’s Matheesha Pathirana, Eshan Malinga, and all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga are set to join their respective franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, pending clearance from Sri Lanka Cricket’s (SLC) mandatory fitness tests.
The assessments, scheduled in the coming days, will determine their readiness after injuries kept them out of the ICC T20 World Cup earlier this year. Early signs suggest the players are recovering well, and officials remain optimistic about their participation.
Pathirana, who became the most expensive Sri Lankan player in IPL history after Kolkata Knight Riders secured him for INR 18 crore at the mini-auction, is expected to be a key figure with his death-over bowling expertise. He previously impressed at Chennai Super Kings, earning recognition for his composure under pressure.
While the trio awaits clearance, several Sri Lankan cricketers have already received their No Objection Certificates (NOCs). Kamindu Mendis, Pathum Nissanka, and Dushmantha Chameera are preparing to join their franchises, with Nissanka heading to Delhi Capitals, Chameera also continuing with Delhi Capitals, and Mendis retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad.
In total, seven Sri Lankan players will feature in IPL 2026, underlining the growing presence of the island nation’s talent in the league.
