The suspension on the All India Football Federation (AIFF) was lifted by the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) this Friday with immediate effect citing, "FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup 2022 scheduled to take place on October 11-30 2022 can be held in India as planned."
"Under these circumstances, the Bureau of the Council decided on August 25, 2022 to lift the suspension of the AIFF with immediate effect. As a consequence, the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup 2022™ scheduled to take place on October 11-30 2022 can be held in India as planned," FIFA said in a statement.
"Finally, as foreseen in the decision of the Bureau of 14 August 2022, a further communication to the AIFF will follow shortly with respect to the next steps to be taken towards holding elections. Kindly take note that FIFA and the AFC will continue to monitor the situation and will support the AIFF in organising the elections in a timely manner," the statement added.
The choice was made after FIFA received confirmation that the committee of administrators' mandate, which had been established to take over the AIFF Executive Committee's authority, had been terminated and that the AIFF administration had reclaimed complete control over the organization's day-to-day operations.
FIFA and the AFC will keep an eye on the situation and assist the AIFF in holding its elections on schedule. As a result, India will host the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup 2022, which is slated to take place from October 11–30, 2022.
