The Supreme Court judgment on AIFF reforms stands as a milestone for transparency and fair play in Indian sports administration. The Court anchored its reasoning in the constitutional value of fraternity, holding that sports institutions must remain inclusive and accessible to all—not just for play but in governance.

With specific directions on voting rights for eminent players, term limits, and accountability under the National Sports Code and National Sports Governance Act, 2025, the stage is set for greater professionalism and opportunity in Indian football.

Statutes:

* National Sports Code, 2011

* National Sports Governance Act, 2025

* AIFF Constitution (2025 Draft)

* Indian Constitution (Articles 38, 39(b), 152, 382)
