Zurich: The operations of the Congolese Football Federation (FECOFOOT) and the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) have been suspended due to various violations, the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) has announced.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the Bureau of the FIFA Council on Thursday and is effective immediately.
FECOFOOT was suspended due to the “particularly serious situation of undue interference by third parties in the affairs of the organization,” the association said.
The PFF, on the other hand, faced the measure due to its inability to adopt a revision of the PFF statutes “that would ensure truly fair and democratic elections” in order to meet its obligations before FIFA.
