Sword of FIFA ban hanging over AIFF, Supreme Court pushes for polls to football body
FIFA ban on the All India Football Federation (AIFF), the Supreme Court said on Thursday it will first deal with the issue of holding elections to it so a democratically elected body is in place well ahead of the under-17 Women's World Cup. A FIFA ban, on account of delayed elections to the AIFF, may result in the Women's U-17 World Cup being shifted outside India. The tournament is to be held in three venues from October 11 to 30.
