FIFA Suspends AIFF Immediately Owing To Excessive Influence From External Parties

FIFA suspended the All India Football Federation (AIFF) with "immediate effect due to undue influence from third parties," putting India's hosting of the U-17 Women's World Cup in October in jeopardy. AIFF will be unable to play international games till the suspension is overturned. The suspension will be removed when the AIFF Executive Committee is annulled and the AIFF administration regains full control of the organization's daily operations.
