- FIFA, the governing body for world football, suspended the All-India Football Federation for “undue interference by a third party”.
- This is a first instance, since the federation was formed in 1937.
- Since May 18, 2022, the AIFF is being run by a three-member committee of administrators
- They were appointed by the Supreme Court after removing Praful Patel and his executive committee, whose term ended in December 2020.
- The appointment of CoA is considered third-party interference and goes against FIFA statutes that asks all countries to “manage its affairs independently.”
- The suspension means no Indian team, club or country, can play international matches.
- Also, India will lose hosting rights of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup-2022.
