New Delhi : A FIFA and AFC joint committee is set to visit India on June 11 to discuss the matter of the All-India Football Federation (AIFF) being run by a Supreme Court of India-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA). This was confirmed by CoA member Dr. S Y Quraishi who said that the CoA would be meeting on June 8, ahead of the FIFA visit, at the AIFF Football House to discuss the drafting of the constitution.
“We were planning on working closely with FIFA and AFC because we need their help and support. We would like to dispel any misconceptions that they may have or some people may have deliberately created in their minds. But before we could send them an invitation, we got information that they themselves are coming on June 11,” said Quraishi.
The FIFA and AFC committee’s visit is crucial as information gleaned from this period will then be used to decide whether third-party interference has taken place in the running of a FIFA member association by the state. In the past, both the Kuwait and Indonesia Football Associations were handed international bans by the FIFA Council because of interference.
