Election Row: FIFA and AFC aware of AIFF's Supreme Court approach

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has been in the news lately after its decision to approach the Supreme Court (SC) of India to seek an extension of term for the current Executive Committee.

The committee’s term is set to end on 21st December 2020 but the lack of a Constitution that purportedly does not conform to the National Sports Code has meant that the Indian FA are unable to hold elections to form the next Executive Committee.

In such a case, there was a possibility that the court would appoint an ad-hoc committee to take charge of the Indian FA till the elections are held.
