Hong Kong Asian Cup Opponents India Could Face Second Fifa Ban in 3 Years

On Tuesday , FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation warned the All India Football Federation to finalise its constitution by October 30, 2025, or face suspension from international competition.
The AIFF constitution has been stuck since 2017, with the Supreme Court of India recently holding back its judgment to align it with the National Sports Governance Act, 2025, while FIFA and the AFC warned of third-party interference.
FSDL has halted plans for the 2025-26 Indian Super League season as the Master Rights Agreement expires December 8, 2025, while FIFPRO Asia/Oceania reported contract terminations harming players last week.
AIFF was ordered to secure a definitive Hon'ble Supreme Court of India order and ratify its constitution at the next AIFF General Meeting by the deadline, or risk exclusion from AFC Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers and other FIFA tournaments if suspended.
India previously faced a FIFA suspension in 2022, which was lifted 10 days later after the Committee of Administrators was dissolved and elections installed Kalyan Chaubey, while the Supreme Court of India is set to take up the case on Thursday .
