News:<\/strong> Recently, the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) suspended the All-India Football Federation (AIFF) with retrospective effect, from August 14.<\/p>\n

Argument against the suspension<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The action is being perceived, by many, as an arbitrary and authoritarian action.<\/p>\n

What are the reasons for the suspension of the All India Football Federation (AIFF)?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

FIFA has cited \u201cthird-party interference\u201d<\/strong> as the reason for the suspension of the AIFF. It means the failure to put in place a constitution and an elected administrative structure that is in consonance with FIFA\u2019s statutory regime<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Underlying Causes<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Over three decades, the AIFF has been administered by only two people at the top: i.e., the late Priya Ranjan Das Munshi (1988-2008) and Praful Patel (2009-2022).<\/p>\n

Further, the AIFF is not administered by people who have a meaningful association with the game. For example, both people mentioned above were politicians.<\/p>\n

No head has been appointed for the past three-odd months in the AIFF. This is because Mr. Patel was removed in May.<\/p>\n

Problems in other sports administration bodies: <\/strong>Every sports body in India is facing administrative problems. This can be seen from the following examples:<\/p>\n

(1) Hockey India is also being run by a committee of administrators<\/strong>. The Federation Internationale de Hockey (FIH) also wants India to adopt a new constitution<\/strong>, under which elections must be held to put in place a new administration.<\/p>\n

(2) In 2017, the Supreme Court tried to reform the cricket administration. The court appointed a committee of administrators<\/strong>. Thereafter, a constitution was framed, and a new president was elected to head a fresh committee to run the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI). The International Cricket Council (ICC) gave India the leeway and the time needed for such a transition.<\/p>\n

(3) The Indian Olympic Association has been threatened with sanctions this year.<\/p>\n

The problems are most often caused by the involvement of politicians who have no business being involved in the first place and who are in the game only to make a fast buck.<\/p>\n

What should be the future course of action?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Lessons should be learned from the chess federation which has revivified its functioning well in time which will allow Tamil Nadu to host this year\u2019s edition of the Olympiad<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
