FIFA has sought clarifications from the AIFF about the last week’s Supreme Court order as the letter says, ” We kindly ask AIFF to provide all details without further delay with an official transcript of the Supreme Court’s decision of 3 August 2022 by 17.00 hours IST on 9 August 2022. ”

Meanwhile, the Committee of Administrators(CoA) has informed FIFA that the current verdict is complying with the roadmap and will have a democratically elected body for the AIFF much before the deadline set by the World Football governing body.
