Fifa has threatened to suspend the Salvadoran Football Association (FESFUT) because of government interference.
Football’s governing body says that statutes ratified by the FESFUT general assembly in August 2009 have not been formally entered in the country’s official register, and that the Government has failed to acknowledge the authority of the ‘normalisation committee’ set up to represent the FESFUT.
If the Salvadoran authorities do not revise their position by noon (GMT) on June 8, 2010, the Fifa executive committee will propose to the Fifa Congress that the FESFUT be suspended. If the Congress upholds this proposal, it will not be possible to lift the suspension until the next Fifa Congress in June 2011.
During the period of suspension, the FESFUT will not be able to be represented in any regional or international competitions. For example, the Salvadoran refereeing trio selected for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa will not be able to participate in the tournament.
