The Supreme Court’s decision in All India Football Federation v. Rahul Mehra & Ors. (2025 INSC 1131) marks a significant moment in the evolution of Indian sports governance. It concludes a long-standing litigation concerning the structure and functioning of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) and sets out comprehensive directions for transparency, inclusion, and professionalism in football administration. The judgment also dovetails with the forthcoming National Sports Governance Act, 2025 (NSGA 2025), indicating a future where sports governance in India is guided by statutory principles rather than ad hoc interventions.
