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.
FIFA felt the elected body in charge might be overlooked by CoA and it won't be able to work independently. So an interim body in charge of the World Cup gave the project no legitimacy.
FIFA's argument was that when the world will be coming to your country to play the World Cup and you cannot simply have a 3-month long body preside over it. FIFA felt it was extremely disrespectful and thus took away the hosting rights.
