FIFA indefinitely suspends Chad Football Association

By Grace Kuria

The Bureau of the FIFA Council on Wednesday announced that it has decided to suspend the Chadian Football Association (FTFA) with immediate effect due to government interference.

FIFA says “The suspension was prompted by the recent decisions of Chadian government authorities to permanently withdraw the powers delegated to the FTFA, establish a national committee for the temporary management of football and seize control of the FTFA’s premises.”

The suspension will be lifted once the relevant government decisions have been repealed and the FTFA and its management, led by President Moctar Mahamoud Hamid, have confirmed to FIFA that the FTFA premises are again under its control.

FIFA Council also suspended the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) with immediate effect due to third-party interference, which constitutes a serious violation of the FIFA Statutes.
