Will the Under-17 Women’s World Cup, scheduled for India in October, take place? Tickets are already on sale but, as is, there are no guarantees.
On Monday 15 August, the All India Football Association was expelled from the International Football Federation (Fifa). Because the Supreme Court of India stepped in to replace its director with a board of directors. However, regulations require elections and prohibit outside intervention in the governance of FIFA members.
As a result, India is de facto no longer able to participate in or host any world football competitions. ” FIFA continues to maintain constructive contact with the Indian Ministry of Youth and Sports “said the international body. New Delhi has indicated that it is actively working to meet its requirements, but no results appear to be forthcoming.
More worryingly, the Indian Olympic Committee could also be banned Olympic games. Again, the International Olympic Committee accused him of a lack of internal democracy. The Supreme Court ordered on Thursday 18 August status quo on the board of directors who will lead it.
