Federation International de Football Association (FIFA), the governing body of world football, banned the All India Football Federation (AIFF) on August 16 citing ‘third party’ intervention. “The Bureau of the FIFA Council has unanimously decided to suspend the All India Football Federation (AIFF) with immediate effect due to undue influence from third parties, which constitutes a serious violation of the FIFA Statutes,” read the official statement. “The suspension will be lifted once an order to set up a committee of administrators to assume the powers of the AIFF Executive Committee has been repealed and the AIFF administration regains full control of the AIFF’s daily affairs.” The suspension jeopardises the country’s chance to host the U-17 Women’s World Cup, which was supposed to be held from October 11-30 later this year. Here’s a look at the timeline of the events that led to the suspension. Former AIFF chief Praful Patel | Photo Credit: R.V. Moorthy The Supreme Court of India relieves Praful Patel and his executive committee from their responsibilities and appoints a Committee of Administrators (CoA) to oversee the functioning of the AIFF – one that is also responsible to draft the constitution for the same body. Patel had completed his three terms and 12 years as AIFF president in December 2020, the maximum permitted to a national sports federation chief under the Sports Code, but the polls could not take place because of pending cases in the Supreme Court regarding its constitution. CoA member, Dr S. Y. Qureshi, says a new AIFF constitution will be in place by the end of September. The CoA and members of some affiliated units meet to discuss the way forward on holding the elections of the AIFF at the earliest under an amended constitution adhering to the national sports code, FIFA and AFC Statutes. RELATED | AIFF Elections: COA, affiliated units meet to discuss way forward on AIFF’s new constitution and elections The first round of talks between the visiting FIFA-AFC team and the CoA “goes off well”. It appoints a 12-member advisory committee to oversee the day-to-day matters of various departments of the AIFF. The advisory committee will send regular reports to all the members of the CoA for their information and approvals if required. After three days of meetings, FIFA leaves with an assurance of completing the new constitution by July 31 and the election process by the end of September. The CoA meets the seven-member committee, representing State Associations of the AIFF to discuss various aspects of and suggestions on the draft constitution.

The state units of the AIFF express unhappiness with several provisions in the final draft constitution. Still, they say they are ready to “find a middle ground” to avoid a FIFA ban. The state associations, represented by a seven-member panel, had written to the FIFA that several clauses of the final draft constitution, prepared by the CoA, were discriminatory and illogical. RELATED | AIFF’s unhappy state associations ready to find “middle ground” The Supreme Court hears pleas from the CoA for AIFF and State Associations on differences in the proposed constitution and directs all parties to file objections if any, by 25 July. It sets the date for the next hearing to July 28, to discuss the draft constitution and ratify it on the same day to pave the way for elections for the national football body. FIFA recommends AIFF to have 25 per cent eminent player representation in its Executive Committee as co-opted members instead of the 50 per cent stipulated in the draft constitution by CoA. The Supreme Court of India postpones the hearing on AIFF elections to August 3, keeping hosting of the Women’s Under-17 World Cup as a priority. Justice DY Chandrachud, one of the sitting justices on the case, says though the court will not be able to finalise the entire committee, it can issue directions for the elections. August 3, 2022 The Supreme Court passes an interim order asking the AIFF to hold and conclude elections for its executive committee as expeditiously as possible and well in time for the Women’s Under-17 World Cup which will be played in India in October 2022. A Bench led by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud agrees to a 27-day time election schedule prepared by the CoA — represented by senior advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan — which manages the affairs of the AIFF. According to the schedule, the election results would be declared on August 28/29, 2022. The Supreme Court directs the holding of elections to the executive committee of the AIFF by forming an Electoral College made up of 36 representatives of state football associations and 36 eminent former football players.

Veteran administrators Subrata Dutta and Larsing Ming’s nominations ahead of the AIFF’s elections are rejected by the poll’s returning officer, Umesh Sinha. Both of them have been on the AIFF executive committee for three terms previously, making them ineligible to contest for any post for the next four, as per a clause in the National Sports Code. RELATED | AIFF elections: Subrata Dutta, Larsing Ming’s nominations rejected by returning officer FIFA informs the Indian sports ministry that it remains firm in its opposition to individual members’ inclusion in the electoral college for the upcoming All India Football Federation’s (AIFF) elections. — FIFA had said in a letter in mid-July. FIFA officially suspends AIFF, meaning the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup 2022, scheduled to take place on 11-30 October 2022, cannot currently be held in the country as planned.
