Overview

  • The joint notice warns that missing the timeline will be referred to FIFA’s decision-making body, with suspension a possible outcome.
  • The letter, addressed to AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey, is signed by FIFA official Elkhan Mammadov and AFC deputy general secretary Vahid Kardany and termed binding on the federation.
  • India’s Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the constitution case on August 28 alongside the AIFFFSDL dispute that has stalled the Indian Super League.
  • The ISL season remains on hold as the Master Rights Agreement expires December 8, with clubs reporting delayed operations and FIFPRO citing unilateral player contract terminations.
  • AIFF’s brief 2022 suspension for third-party influence provides context for the current warning over governance compliance.
