All India Football Federation suspended by FIFA World Cup 2022

FIFA World Cup 2022 has been in the news again due to the suspension of India’s international football team out of the league.

CheckBrand analysed the popularity of FIFA World Cup 2022 as it is the most awaited championship scheduled to be hosted by Qatar. It has always been highly trending on social media platforms. Surprisingly sentiment on social media positively rose to 35.8% in its favour.

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has been suspended by the world's governing body of football, FIFA. The decision was made unanimously by the FIFA Council Bureau. This is a result of improper interference from outside parties which is a significant breach of the FIFA Statutes.

The announcement went on to say that "the suspension means that the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup 2022, scheduled to take place in India on October 11th –30th, 2022, cannot currently be hosted in India as planned."

FIFA is evaluating the tournament's next moves as well and, if and when appropriate, will bring the issue to the Bureau of the Council. According to the announcement, "FIFA is in continuous helpful touch with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports in India and is hopeful that a favourable outcome to the issue may yet be obtained."
