AIFF approaches Supreme Court to seek clarification even as Executive Committee's term winds down

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) Executive Committee members could be set for an extension of their term beyond the end of 2020 when their stint was set to end.

The Indian FA has approached the Supreme Court of India seeking a decision to such effect after the failure of a court-appointed team to draft a new constitution for the AIFF. The current AIFF Executive Committee, headed by President Praful Patel, was elected to office in 2016 and had the mandate to serve until December 2020.

In October 2017, Delhi High Court annulled the election, stating that it was held without following the National Sports Code.
