The court order empowered, “…the CoA to provide its inputs to facilitate the adoption of the Constitution of the AIFF under the directions of the Court after considering suggestions/objections. Indian football’s long and tortuous legal road can be best understood from the fact that in May 2022 the Supreme Court had to intervene once again, remove AIFF office bearers for not holding elections and modify its 2017 order to re-appoint Quraishi, Ganguly and Justice (retired) Anil Dave as the CoA.

AIFF challenged this in Supreme Court which, in its order of November 2017, stayed the Delhi high court judgement and appointed former chief election commissioner SY Quraishi and former India captain Bhaskar Ganguly as the Committee of Administrators (CoA) to formulate the AIFF’s constitution in line with the National Sports Development Code of India, 2011, and, conduct elections and ensure the constitution of the executive committee. The Delhi high court, taking cognisance of some complaints, set aside in October 2017 AIFF’s December 2016 election results and appointed SY Quraishi as the administrator-cum-returning officer for conducting elections within a prescribed time limit. A brief recap of the legal process is instructive before understanding reasons for FIFA’s ban.
The FIFA ban brings to a head the legal quagmire that has swamped AIFF for the past 10 years. As a federation of state football associations, AIFF is the sport’s governing body in India, with an oversight from the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports which formally recognises national sports bodies.
