    The bureau seems to have arrived at a decision after the Supreme Court overturned the CoA and handed over control of the AIFF to the football federation.

    Indian football had been banned by the world football’s supreme body, on August 15, 2022. This was primarily due to third-party intervention in AIFF’s daily operations. Also, according to FIFA regulations, it is not allowed to have eminent players on the committee unless they are recruited.

    The FIFA Executive Board has decided to lift the suspension of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) due to disproportionate third party interference.
