3 Things That Could Happen In Indian Football With Praful Patel's Election into the FIFA Council

#1 AIFF Executive Committee members sacked temporarily

Some new faces can be seen in the AIFF Executive Committee

According to Section 8 of the General Provisions of FIFA, "Executive bodies of member associations may under exceptional circumstances be removed from office by the Council in consultation with the relevant confederation and replaced by a normalization committee for a specific period of time."

In case the FIFA Council finds the AIFF Executive Committee members not doing their task properly, they can be removed temporarily after consulting AFC.

The I-League clubs have complained numerous times that AIFF's commercial partners have found their way inside many decision-making bodies. They were unable to get into the AIFF Executive Committee but now that day might not be far away.

Praful Patel already has the support of AFC- evident from the 38 votes he received out of 47 to be elected into the FIFA Council- to do what is best for Indian football. All he needs to do is convince the other FIFA Council members.
