The hackers left messages against India and the country's demands for the release of Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav who was arrested by Pakistan last month.

Jadhav was arrested last year on the suspicion of alleged espionage and sabotage activities in Pakistan.

A few hours back, AIFF confirmed on their official twitter handle that the site is up and running smoothly again.

Their tweet read: "UP AND RUNNING! Our website has been restored, after what we call a 'reckless sliding tackle', caused us a slight problem. #BackTheBlue"
