AIFF Meeting Set to Adopt New Constitution
The All India Football Federation (AIFF), the group that runs football in India, is holding a special meeting on October 12.
They need to officially adopt a new set of rules, called a constitution.
This is because the Supreme Court, the highest court in the country, approved the new rules and told them to.
FIFA, the global football organization, wants these changes done by the end of October.
The new rules include limits on how long people can be in charge and set an age limit for officials.
This helps keep things fair and well-organized in Indian football.
AIFF will hold a Special General Body meeting on October 12 to adopt a new constitution.
The Supreme Court approved the draft constitution on September 19.
FIFA has set an October 30 deadline for the AIFF to adopt the new Constitution.
The draft constitution includes age and tenure limits for officials.
The AIFF executive committee will consist of 14 members, with some positions reserved for eminent players.
