FIFA announced on Friday that it has lifted the suspension imposed on the All India Football Federation (AIFF) earlier this month due to undue third-party influence.
The lifting of the suspension also means that the Under-17 Women’s World Cup, which was set to take place in India from October 11 to 30, will take place as planned.
“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 2022TM scheduled to take place on 11-30 October 2022 will be held in India as planned.
