\nIndia could be banned from world football for the second time in three years after FIFA and the Asian governing body demanded it implement a new constitution by October 30 or risk suspension.
\nWorld governing body FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) sent a joint letter to the All India Football Federation (AIFF) president Kalyan Chaubey expressing \u201cprofound concern\u201d at the continued failure to finalise and adopt the constitution.
\n\u201cFailure to meet this schedule will leave us with no alternative but to refer the matter to the relevant FIFA decision-making body for consideration and decision,\u201d said the letter, seen by AFP.
\n\u201cAIFF must regard this communication as binding and requiring immediate compliance in order to safeguard its rights as a member of FIFA and the AFC,\u201d it added.
\nThe AIFF constitution has been in India\u2019s Supreme Court awaiting a decision since 2017.
\nA suspension would mean the Indian national teams and clubs being barred from all international competitions.
\nFIFA previously suspended India in August 2022 for third-party influence after the Supreme Court appointed a committee of administrators to run the AIFF.
\nThe ban was lifted a few days later, paving the way for the AIFF to elect Chaubey.
\nIndia\u2019s top-flight club football is currently in disarray.
\nThe Indian Super League (ISL) could fold over a dispute between the AIFF and its commercial partner.
\nThis season\u2019s ISL kickoff has been delayed with thousands of players and staff in danger of losing their jobs.
\nA rights agreement between the AIFF and the company that runs the ISL, Football Sports Development Limited, ends on December 8 and is yet to be renewed.
\nThe AIFF has been unable to come up with a revival plan for the ISL, which is usually played between September and April.
