FIFA - The FIFA Emergency Committee, composed of the FIFA President and one representative of each of the six confederations, yesterday (22 November 2006) decided to suspend the Islamic Republic of Iran Football Federation (IRIFF) from all international activity due to government interference in football matters and violation of Article 17 of the FIFA Statutes.
The FIFA Emergency Committee took this
decision after determining that the IRIFF was not adhering to the principles
of the FIFA Statutes regarding the independence of member associations, the
independence of the decision-making process of the football governing body
in each country and the way in which changes in the leadership of
associations are brought about. |
