The Bureau of the FIFA Council on late Friday said the suspension of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) has been lefted.
“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 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, the FIFA said.
“FIFA and the AFC will continue to monitor the situation and will support the AIFF in organising its elections in a timely manner”, world soccer’s governing body said in a statement.
Lifting of the suspension also means that the Under-17 women’s World Cup, which was scheduled to take place in India from Oct. 11-30, will be held in the country as planned.
