Prominent Indian footballers, including Sunil Chhetri and Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, have issued a joint video appeal to FIFA for urgent intervention to rescue Indian football from administrative paralysis. The Indian Super League's 2025-26 season remains stalled due to the All India Football Federation's failure to secure a commercial partner. Players describe the situation as a humanitarian, sporting, and economic crisis, with livelihoods at stake.
Former UEFA president Michel Platini has claimed that FIFA and a 'Swiss mafia' conspired to derail his presidential bid through false corruption charges. Speaking at Italy's Criminal Justice Festival in Sassuolo, he reflected on his decade-long legal battle and recent acquittal. Platini described the ordeal as a deliberate effort to destroy his reputation and prevent reforms.
