Seasoned striker Sunil Chhetri on August 14, 2022 advised fellow players to continue giving their best on the pitch and not worry about FIFA's threat of suspension on Indian football.
Earlier this month, world football governing body FIFA had threatened to suspend the AIFF and strip off its right to host the women's U-17 World Cup in October due to a third party "influence", the warning coming just days after the Supreme Court's directive to hold elections of the national federation.
The SC-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) has since, though, started the electoral process. The elections are slated for August 28.
