A wonderful update is coming in for all fans and admirers of Indian football. On Friday, FIFA which is the world’s governing body for football lifted its suspension on All India Football Federation aka AIFF. This means that India can now remain the hosts for the U-17 Women’s World Cup 2022 in October. In its official release, FIFA was quoted as saying,
“The Bureau of the FIFA Council has decided to lift the suspension that was imposed on the All India Football Federation (AIFF) due to undue third-party influence. The decision was taken after FIFA received confirmation that the mandate of the committee of administrators that was set up 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.FIFA and the AFC will continue to monitor the situation and will support the AIFF in organising its elections in a timely manner. As a consequence, the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup 2022 scheduled to take place on 11-30 October 2022 will be held in India as planned.”
