Football's governing body FIFA, suspended the All India Football Federation (AIFF) on August 15 due to undue influence from third parties, which according to FIFA is a “serious violation of the FIFA Statutes”. This not only dented India's chances of hosting the U17 Women's World Cup in October but India's national teams will not be able to play international fixtures until the suspension is lifted.
But what caused this violation?
The conflict began when former chief Praful Patel stayed in office beyond his term despite completing his three terms and 12 years as AIFF president in December 2020.
The Supreme Court of India ruled it invalid and relieved Praful Patel and his executive committee from their responsibilities. The SC then appointed a Committee of Administrators (CoA) to oversee the functioning of the AIFF it had selected in May 2022. It was also given the responsibility to draft the constitution for the same body.
On July 16, 2022, CoA submitted the final draft constitution of the AIFF to the Supreme Court for its approval. However, the state units of the AIFF expressed their unhappiness with several provisions in the final draft constitution.
On August 3, the Supreme Court directed the holding of elections to the executive committee of the AIFF by forming an Electoral College made up of 36 representatives of state football associations and 36 eminent former football players.
FIFA though threatened to suspend the AIFF and strip off its rights to host the Women’s U-17 World Cup in October due to a third-party “influence.” But the CoA reassured FIFA after the threat that it was on course to set the AIFF in order.
On August 15, FIFA informed the Indian sports ministry that it remained firm in its opposition to individual members’ inclusion in the electoral college for the upcoming AIFF elections.
Football's governing body finally took the hard call and suspended AIFF a day later. However, FIFA also stated that the suspension will be lifted once an order to set up a committee of administrators to assume the powers of the AIFF Executive Committee was repealed and the AIFF administration regains full control of the AIFF’s daily affairs.

FIFA has lifted the ban imposed on the All India Football Federation clearing the decks for India to host the Women's U-17 World Cup in October.
"The Bureau of the FIFA Council has decided to lift the suspension that was imposed on the All India Football Federation (AIFF) due to undue third-party influence," the FIFA said in a statement.
The suspension was lifted following Supreme Court's termination of a panel appointed by it in May to oversee the administration of the AIFF. 
"The decision was taken after FIFA received confirmation that the mandate of the committee of administrators that was set up to assume the powers of the AIFF Executive Committee had been terminated and that the AIFF administration had regained full control of the AIFF's daily affairs."
"As a consequence, the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup 2022 scheduled to take place on 11-30 October 2022 will be held in India as planned," the FIFA statement read. 
11 days ago on August 15, FIFA had acted against India's football federation citing 'undue third-party influence' in its daily affairs and stripped the AIFF of its rights to host the U-17 Women's World Cup. 
On Tuesday, the AIFF's acting general secretary Sunando Dhar had requested FIFA secretary general Fatma Samoura to "reconsider their decision of suspending the AIFF".
"It is with immense pleasure that we inform you that the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India took up our matter and vide order dated 22.08.2022 was pleased to pass directions regarding the full repeal of the CoA mandate and consequently the AIFF having full charge of the AIFF's daily affairs," Dhar wrote in the letter.
"In view of the above, we request the FIFA and especially the Bureau to reconsider their decision of suspending the AlFF.
"Since the conditions set out in your Letter for lifting of the suspension stand satisfied, we request that a order to that effect be passed at the earliest for the AIFF to continue with the smooth running of football in India," the letter further stated.
The CoA, headed by former Supreme Court judge A R Dave, had been overseeing the affairs of the AIFF since the May 18 order of the top court, which ousted Praful Patel as the president of the federation. The other two members of the CoA are former chief election commissioner S Y Quraishi and ex Indian football team captain Bhaskar Ganguly.
"The day-to-day management of AIFF shall be exclusively looked after by the AIFF Administration led by the Acting Secretary General. The mandate of the Committee of Administrators appointed by the order of this Court stands terminated," the SC said in its verdict on Monday.
The top court also postponed the August 28 elections of the AIFF by one week to allow a changed electoral college and the start of the nomination process.
The order came on a fresh plea filed by the Sports Ministry seeking modification of the May 18 and August 3 orders of the court after consultation with the FIFA.
The AIFF elections will now be held on September 2 with the legendary Bhaichung Bhutia and former goalkeeper Kalyan Chaubey set to have a straight fight for the post of president.
