"It is with immense pleasure that we inform you that the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India took up our matter and vide order dated 22.05.2022 was pleased to pass directions regarding the full repeal of the CoA mandate and consequently the AIFF having full charge of the AIFF's daily affairs."&nbsp;

"In view of the above, we request the FIFA and especially the Bureau to reconsider their decision of suspending the AlFF. Since the conditions set out in your Letter for lifting of the suspension stand satisfied, we request that a order to that effect be passed at the earliest for the AIFF to continue with the smooth running of football in India," Dhar wrote to FIFA.&nbsp;

FIFA's&nbsp;ban was a direct&nbsp;result of the inception of the CoA, which was a three-man committee appointed by the Supreme Court to manage the affairs of the AIFF, which the global federation deemed as "undue influence from third parties".

AIFF writes to FIFA, requests to lift ban after Supreme Court dissolves Committee of Administrators

FIFA's ban on the All India Football Federation (AIFF) can be lifted soon after the Supreme Court of India on Monday (August 22) dissolved the three-member Committee of Administrators (CoA) to hand back the charge to the current administration of the board led by acting general secretary Sunando Dhar.&nbsp;

FIFA 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ban until the board's administration is once again completely in charge of the national football body and the CoA is repealed. FIFA's key demand has now been met by the AIFF after CoA's dismissal by the Supreme Court.

As per a report in The Indian Express, the Supreme Court of India bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud passed an oral order on Monday demanding the CoA to hand over the baton 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&nbsp; Committee of Administrators to run the daily affairs at AIFF after dismissing former president Praful Patel, who illegally continued to hold his position despite completing three four-years terms.

However, FIFA has a strict stance against third-party interference in the running of a national football federation. The world governing body issued a warning to the AIFF after CoA's appointment before imposing a ban last week. However, the Supreme Court's latest order can see FIFA revoke its ban on Indian football.

FIFA had said it will lift the ban on AIFF only after the ‘repeal of the CoA mandate in full’ and when the board's administration is fully in charge of its day-to-day affairs. FIFA's ban has already had&nbsp;a catastrophic impact on Indian clubs as Gokulam Kerala's women's team was last week ruled out of the AFC Club Championship due to the ban.

The ban has also impacted other Indian clubs and the national teams as they have been barred from participating in any international tournaments. As it stands, India have also been stripped off the hosting rights for the upcoming FIFA Women's U-17 World Cup which was scheduled to be hosted by the country later this year.

FIFA's ban on AIFF likely to be lifted soon as Supreme Court dissolves CoA

In what comes as a huge setback for Indian football club Gokulam Kerala FC, they will not be able to take part in the upcoming AFC Women’s Club Championship due to FIFA's recent ban on the All India Football Federation (FIFA). FIFA imposed a ban on AIFF earlier this week due to third-party interference.

The Indian sports ministry was in talks with FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to allow Gokulam Kerala to take part in the tournament as the team had already landed in Uzbekistan ahead of their game against Sogdiana Women in Qarshi. However, their efforts have gone in vain as Gokulam Kerala will not be allowed to play in the tournament.

As per a report in The Indian Express, the Indian sports ministry on Saturday (August 20) informed the club that they should return home from&nbsp;Uzbekistan. The club are now looking to make arrangements to fly back to India later today. This is a huge blow for the club as they were hoping to make it to the competition despite the ban.

FIFA imposed a ban on AIFF for 'undue influence from third parties' while also suspending the country from hosting the upcoming Women's U-17 World Cup which was scheduled to take place in India later this year. FIFA's ban also means India won't be able to take part in any international competitions and the Indian clubs will be barred from participating in any FIFA or AFC-related events.

Gokulam Kerala's women's team had already reached Uzbekistan before FIFA announced the ban on AIFF earlier this week. The club had approached the Indian sports ministry seeking a solution following which the ministry wrote to FIFA requesting them to allow the team to participate in the competition.&nbsp;

“It has requested FIFA and AFC to therefore consider allowing the team to play in the AFC Women’s Club Championship (West region) in the interest of the young players,” the Indian sports ministry said in a statement. However, their request has been turned down.

The Centre on Tuesday sought an urgent hearing in the Supreme Court on the All India Football Federation matter in the wake of FIFA suspending India for "undue influence from third parties" and stripping the country of the right to host the Under-17 Women's World Cup.

The country is scheduled to host the FIFA tournament from October 11-30. A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and AS Bopanna was told by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, that "important development"&nbsp;has taken place and FIFA has sent a letter suspending India which is in public domain and needs to be brought on record.

The bench told Mehta that the matter is listed for Wednesday and it would try to take it up as a first matter. 
Mehta said FIFA was in Geneva and it has taken certain decisions which are important developments for the country and need to be brought before the court.

"I request that the AIFF matter pending before the court be urgently heard", he said.
