Kalyan Chaubey, elected on September 2, 2022, for a four-year term, will see his presidency end after the new elections.
## National Sports Governance Act 2025
The National Sports Governance Act 2025 caused the election postponement and was approved by FIFA.
## Federation officials in Kolkata
AIFF officials are in Kolkata for the SGM, with Rajeev Sharma presiding over the election date confirmation.

## India vs Brazil match costs
Brazil and Uruguay charge around USD 5 million and USD 2 million for playing international matches away from home.
## Payment to teams
The AIFF will not pay the teams from its coffers, so the transaction does not fall under the Finance Committee.

Around 16,500 tickets were sold for the India vs Brazil match, with 40,000 complimentary passes distributed.
## Key takeaway

The All India Football Federation will elect a new president on December 20 following a postponement of Kalyan Chaubey's term end due to the National Sports Governance Act 2025.
