The decision was taken after Fifa received confirmation that the mandate of the committee of administrators (CoA), that was set up by the Supreme Court to assume the powers of the AIFF executive committee, had been terminated and that the AIFF administration had regained full control of the AIFF’s daily affairs,” the governing body for world football said in a statement.
First, the AIFF constitution needs to be revised in accordance with the requirements of Fifa and the AFC. Second, the federation needs to carry out the upcoming electoral process as per the statutory requirement, which includes voting rights only to the state associations.
The Supreme Court had removed voting rights previously given to 36 eminent players and confirmed that only state association representatives will form the electoral college and elect the next AIFF president.
“As foreseen in the decision of the Bureau of 14 August 2022, a further communication to the AIFF will follow shortly with respect to the next steps to be taken towards holding elections. Fifa and the AFC will continue to monitor the situation and will support the AIFF in organising the elections in a timely manner,” the Fifa secretary general said.
The decision will come as a huge relief for all stakeholders, primarily ATK Mohun Bagan, who were in danger of losing the rights to host the AFC Cup inter-zone semifinal against Kuala Lumpur City FC on September 7. There was talk of moving the game from Kolkata to Kuala Lumpur if there was any delay in Fifa issuing the letter to revoke the suspension, since getting visas on time for visiting team and officials would have been difficult.
The decision to lift India’s suspension was taken by the Fifa Bureau, a seven-member panel within the larger Fifa Council that has 37 members, including former AIFF president Praful Patel. The members include president Gianni Infantino and six heads of confederations.
While the decision to revoke suspension was met with joy all around, Gokulam Kerala FC became the only casualty after being scratched out of the AFC Women’s Club Championship, despite making it to Tashkent in Uzbekistan. “Be indifferent to what makes no difference,” the club said in a tweet after the announcement from Fifa.
