New Delhi

Football’s international governing body (FIFA) has revoked the suspension that was imposed on the All-India Football Federation (AIFF) due to undue third-party influence.

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 federation’s daily affairs.

"FIFA and the AFC will continue to monitor the situation and will support the AIFF in organising its elections in a timely manner," the FIFA council release said on Friday.

As a consequence, the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup 2022 scheduled to take place from October 11-30, 2022 will be held in India as planned.

On August 16, FIFA, the apex body of world football, had suspended the AIFF with "immediate effect due to undue influence from third parties", jeopardizing the country's staging of the U-17 Women's World Cup in October.

With the Supreme Court on the recommendation of the Indian government deciding to dissolve the Committee of Administrators (CoA) and give back the reins to the old guard, the decks were cleared for FIFA to lift the suspension.
