A joint secretary of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports also urged the apex court to consider the objections to the new draft constitution expeditiously, in view of FIFA’s deadline and the importance of hosting U-17 Women’s World Cup in India, as well as India’s participation in the Asian Cup. The Football Sports Development Limited, which manages the Indian Super League, and State Associations had filed an intervention case in the Supreme Court, requesting to amend some clauses in the Draft Constitution submitted by the CoA.
