Sporting trouble: The Hindu Editorial on Supreme Court terminating mandate of administrators to manage the All India Football Federation

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court of India’s order on Monday terminating the mandate of the Committee of Administrators to temporarily manage the All India Football Federation is set to pave the way for ending India’s international isolation. World football’s governing body FIFA had suspended the AIFF on August 15 citing “undue interference from a third party” and made a decision reversal conditional on the full repeal of the CoA’s mandate and the handing back of the AIFF’s daily affairs to the AIFF administration. But these are unlikely to foil India’s rehabilitation and its attempts to win back U-17 Women’s World Cup hosting rights. While the AIFF seems to have weathered the storm, the suspension, however brief it may turn out to be, has come at an enormous cost for the women of Gokulam Kerala FC, whose dreams of competing in their maiden AFC Asian Women’s Club Championship were shattered.
