The Indian Football Federation (AIFF) has asked FIFA to lift the suspension imposed on him after the term of the court-appointed committee to regulate sport in the country ends this week.

On Monday, India’s Supreme Court ruled that the commission’s mandate was “ended” and that the day-to-day management of all football affairs would be returned to the AIFF.

Acting AIFF Secretary General Sunando Dhar wrote to FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura on Tuesday demanding that authorities lift the suspension of the…

“As the conditions stated in your letter for the lifting of the suspension are met, we request that the order be issued as soon as possible so that the AIFF can continue the smooth running of football in India,” the letter read. .

FIFA has not officially responded to the AIFF letter.

According to FIFA statutes, member federations must be free from legal and political interference in their respective countries. FIFA has suspended other national associations in similar cases.

India was due to host the Under-17 Women’s World Cup on October 11-30 but its right to host was threatened due to FIFA’s suspension.

AIFF elections are currently scheduled for early next month.
