FIFA suspends Kuwait Football Federation
FIFA has suspended Kuwait from all international matches and activities because of the government interference in the affairs of the football federation.
Contrary to the road map established by FIFA and the AFC, the Kuwaiti Public Authority for Youth and Sport has continued to interfere. Elections were held on 9 October in direct violation of the FIFA Executive Committee’s May 2007 decision to the contrary. As a consequence, the committee recommend to the FIFA Executive Committee that the Kuwait Football Association be suspended. [Link]
Kuwait’s federation were to have held their general assembly in September but delayed it for Ramadan but after no meeting took place Blatter said the Kuwaitis had been “definitively suspended” from international matches. [Link]

A Kuwaiti friend was JUST talking to me about this. He’s so pissed about the people behind the Kuwaiti Football Federation and their management.

This is now the second time FIFA has banned Kuwait.
the interference of goveremt on Kuwait football and its management I’d a unarguable reflection of kuwait’s politics and the govt’s mismanagement of kuwait as a whole.

@ Herolike : lol ;-)
But serious, it’s a real pity for soccer in Kuwait. So many opportunity’s and talents (watch link – docu about Sayed Abdullah) are in danger by these measures of the FIFA. Sanctions which easily could have been avoid.
