Overview

• FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation sent a joint letter to AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey setting an October 30 deadline to adopt a revised, compliant constitution.
• The letter requires a definitive Supreme Court order approving the text, full alignment with FIFA/AFC statutes, and formal ratification at the next AIFF General Meeting.
• It warns that missing the deadline will be referred to FIFA’s decision-making body, risking suspension and loss of membership rights that would bar national teams and clubs from international competitions.
• The bodies cite a governance and operational crisis, with the ISL season on hold after FSDL paused planning over uncertainty around the Master Rights Agreement that expires on December 8.
• FIFA/AFC note FIFPRO reports of unilateral player contract terminations as some clubs delay salaries or suspend operations, with the Supreme Court set to hear related issues on Thursday.
