The Indian Football Team- Source (Twitter)FIFA's ban on the All India Football Federation can elapse as soon as the Supreme Court of India on Monday dissolves the three-member Committee of Administrators (CoA). Once this is done, the baton should be handed back in charge to the current administration of the board led by acting general secretary Sunando Dhar.
The Football governing body had imposed a ban on AIFF due to third-party interference last week and said it won't lift the ban until the board's administration is once again completely in charge of the national football body and the CoA which is there ceases to exist. This key demand made by FIFA has now been met by the AIFF after CoA's dismissal by the Supreme Court.
As per reports, the Supreme Court of India bench which is led by Justice DY Chandrachud passed an order orally on Monday demanding that the CoA hand over the reins back to the AIFF administration. “The day-to-day management of AIFF shall be looked after by the AIFF administration led by the acting secretary general exclusively," the SC bench said.
"As a consequence, the CoA will cease to be in charge," the bench added confirming CoA's ouster from AIFF. The SC had appointed a three-member Committee of Administrators to oversee the day-to-day affairs at AIFF after former president Praful Patel was no longer in charge because he illegally continued to hold his position despite the completion of 3 four-year terms.
FIFA had said it will revoke the ban on AIFF only after the ‘repeal of the CoA mandate in full’ and when the board's administration takes full charge of its day-to-day affairs. FIFA's ban has already had a telling impact on Indian clubs as Gokulam Kerala's women's team was barred from taking part in the AFC Club Championship due to the ban.
At the moment, The hosting rights have been taken off from India for the upcoming FIFA Women's U-17 World Cup which was scheduled to be hosted by the country later on in the year.
