#SupremeCourt is hearing pleas regarding AIFF's new pending Constitution and the recent ban by FIFA.
SG: The Centre is very concerned about two things. It is disastrous that we have been suspended, and that none of our players can now play internationally. We have to see if India is being sidelined or treated differently. Whether FIFA's policy is proper or improper ...
SG Tushar Mehta: i won't get into at this stage as we are in discussions with them. Responsible officers who participated are also here.

There may be some vested interests who may have played a role, but govt will have to insulate itself from that but not be prevented ...

Also, Praful Patel's daughter's father-in-law has stake in Atletico de Kolkata, which is a clear conflict of interest. So, while ISL being an unofficial tournament, unrecognised by gets all the money and marketing and prime slot in Football Calender,
I League, the official League of India is given step motherly treatment by IMG Reliance. There is no marketing of the league and no revenue is shared by AIFF with the clubs as the revenue earned from I League is directly pocketed by IMG Reliance.

A small thread on what transpired and how the FIFA Council actually saw the Supreme Court order in context with the Under-17 Women’s World Cup...
The FIFA Council took a unanimous decision to suspend AIFF last week itself after the Supreme Court order said an interim elected body would look after the operations of AIFF for 3 months. Due course was only followed on Monday.
FIFA didn't see the Supreme Court order as a wholesome proposal when India was supposed to host the U-17 Women's World Cup. FIFA actually felt that it was a very confusing court order.

#COA & advisors knew that #FIFA will never take third party involvement lightly but still they took the risk & kept on going against #FIFA.

Heartbreak for true #IndianFootball fans. Think about @GokulamKeralaFC

#FIFA will never allow any federation to give players voting rights, If they do so then in future players might ask for voting rights for #FIFA elections.

It's naive from COA and others who thought they can give players voting rights just like that.

FIFA will give #AIFF another chance to get house in order before giving #FIFAU17WC to backup host.

When I spoke to people about backup hosts they told me it's joke but seems like FIFA was not joking.

After sitting on it for 17 months - a year and half - the #AIFF (@IndianFootball) on July 26, 2019, says they can't implement the recommendations (timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/footbal…). What was stopping them, who is actually making these decisions that is killing #IndianFootball? @toisports
Authored by Alex Phillips (head of Asia-Europe Affairs, @theafcdotcom) and Nic Coward (Professional Football Consultant, @FIFAcom), the RoadMap fairly lists out the path for an egalitarian co-existence between @ILeagueOfficial (#ILeague) clubs and #ISL franchises. 3/14
