India could face a second global football ban in three years if it fails to implement a new constitution by October 30, as demanded by FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). This potential suspension would bar Indian national teams and clubs from all international competitions.

• FIFA previously suspended India in August 2022 due to third-party influence.
• The All India Football Federation (AIFF) president is Kalyan Chaubey.
• The AIFF constitution has been awaiting a decision in India's Supreme Court since 2017.
• The Indian Super League (ISL), India's top-flight club football, is currently facing disarray and delayed kickoff.
• A rights agreement between the AIFF and Football Sports Development Limited, which runs the ISL, ends on December 8 and needs renewal.
