FIFA suspends India | Centre seeks urgent hearing in AIFF case, SC to hear on August 17

The Hindu  

The Centre on Tuesday made an urgent request in the Supreme Court for an early hearing even as reports emerged that FIFA has suspended the All India Football Federation, leaving the prospects of India hosting the Under-17 Women’s World Cup in October bleak. Justice Chandrachud, after checking with the court staff, said the AIFF case was anyway listed as the first item on the court's board on August 17. On August 11, the Supreme Court had allowed a request made by the Sports Ministry for an opportunity to calm the troubled waters within the AIFF by meeting with its Committee of Administrators and FIFA. The sharp remarks from the Bench came while hearing a contempt petition filed by the CoA, which had complained that AIFF’s former president, Praful Patel, and some of the States’ football associations were moving "indirectly" to thwart the Supreme Court’s interim order on August 3 to conduct elections to the federation and finalise the AIFF’s Constitution in time for the World Cup.
