NEW DELHI: The Centre on Wednesday told the Supreme Court that it is holding talks with FIFA officials to resolve the crisis arising from the international football body suspending the All India Football Federation (AIFF), and expressed hope the differences would be sorted out soon so that the country can host the U-17 Women's World Cup as scheduled this October.
Appearing before the court, which urged the Centre to "take a pro-active role" in the matter, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta submitted that the Centre has taken up the issue and two meetings have already taken place with FIFA.
