Consequently, it was suspended at least momentarily Under 17 World Cupwhich was going to be played in the India from October 11 to 30 next.

Anyway, the FIFA warned that “The suspension will be lifted once the order to establish an administration committee to take over the functions of the AIFF’s executive committee has been repealed and the federation’s administration regains full control of its day-to-day activity.”

The AIFF was to appoint a new president in December 2020, but problems with constitutional amendments delayed the appointment process, leading to the FIFA to sanction the Indian institution.

In May, India’s highest judicial body decided to dissuade the AIFF and appoint a jury of three people in charge of organizing the elections no later than September 15.

The U-17 Women’s World Cupinitially scheduled for November 2020, was postponed several times due to the coronavirus.
