Indian football faces the possibility of an international suspension after FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) warned the All India Football Federation (AIFF) to adopt and ratify its long-pending constitution by October 30.
NEW DELHI:
In a strongly worded letter sent Tuesday to AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey, FIFA and AFC said they were "profoundly concerned" about the failure to finalise the constitution, a matter pending before the Supreme Court since 2017. The apex court will hear the issue on Thursday.
The joint communication, signed by FIFA Chief Member Associations Officer Elkhan Mammadov and AFC Deputy General Secretary Vahid Kardany, directed AIFF to obtain a “definitive order” from the Supreme Court approving the revised document, align it with FIFA and AFC statutes, and secure ratification at the next General Body meeting.
“Failure to meet this schedule will leave us with no alternative but to refer the matter to the relevant FIFA decision-making body… including the possibility of suspension,” the letter stated.
