FIFA BANS All India Football Federation, Now India cannot host U17 Women’s World Cup

FIFA Suspends AIFF: HUGE BLOW for Indian football! FIFA suspends AIFF & all activities, India STRIPPED of hosting rights for FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup 2022

Indian Football BANNED: As expected the All India Football Federation (AIFF) is suspended by FIFA. This has been done due “third party intervention” in affairs of AIFF. FIFA has also stripped India of it’s hosting the U-17 Women’s World Cup and suspended Indian Football with immediate effect. It means Indian National Football Team will not be able to play any international games.

he 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.

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once an order to set up a committee of administrators to assume the powers of the AIFF Executive Committee has been repealed and the AIFF administration regains full control of the AIFF’s daily affairs.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 means that the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup 2022™, scheduled to take place in India on 11-30 October 2022, cannot currently be held in India as planned. FIFA is assessing the next steps with regard to the tournament and will refer the matter to the Bureau of the Council if and when necessary. FIFA is in constant constructive contact with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports in India and is hopeful that a positive outcome to the case may still be achieved.
