The ban can be lifted if an elected AIFF body takes charge of the proceedings under the lieu of FIFA statutes. The suspension throws India's footballing future into a mist of uncertainty.

BREAKING: With FIFA suspending the All India Football Federation (AIFF), it also means that the upcoming FIFA U17 Women's World Cup 2022 cannot be hosted in India as of now. Meanwhile, if the global body awards the tournament's hosting rights to another nation, India's chances for participation could also be nullified. The Blue Tigresses sealed a spot in the tournament by virtue of being the hosts and not by merit. The only glimmer of hope that remains is that the AIFF complete their electoral process immediately and FIFA end the suspension well before the tournament.

can you please update on what happens with the transfer window for Indian clubs after the ban has been served by FIFA.Clubs can sign foreign players, but they cannot be registered till the ban is lifted. Transfer window ends on Aug 31, so if we continue to stay banned, clubs will have to sign only free or out of contract players, who can be registered outside the window, after the ban ends. Furthermore, Indian clubs will now be unable to register foreign players until the ban is lifted. While a prompt reaction from the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports might bring the blackout surrounding Indian football to a end, the first FIFA ban in AIFF's 85-year-long history puts into perspective the plight of game in the country.

What does the FIFA ban mean for the future of Indian football
Both Indian men's and women's national teams will be unable to participate in international matches. (Image Courtesy: Twitter/IndianFootball) The wee hours of August 16 marked the manifestation of the darkest nightmare of the Indian footballing faithful. FIFA, the international football governing body, suspended the All India Football Federation (AIFF), with immediate effect, for ‘undue influence’ from third parties. The decision followed dark clouds looming over the country's footballing future after the AIFF failed to hold its presidential re-election due in December 2020. The Supreme Court swooped in and asked long-serving AIFF President Praful Patel to step down and appointed a Committee of Administrators (CoA) to take over the day-to-day affairs. However, FIFA found the developments to be in violation of their statute and decided to ban the AIFF. BREAKING: The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has been suspended by FIFA due to third party intervention.The ban can be lifted if an elected AIFF body takes charge of the proceedings under the lieu of FIFA statutes.
