Brunei Darussalam face expulsion

Saturday, 20 March 2010 10:29
Zurich: Brunei Darussalam are in danger of being expelled from world football due to government interference in the sport.

The FIFA Executive Committee on Friday agreed to submit to the next FIFA Congress the expulsion of The Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (BAFA) if the BAFA has not been reinstated by then, after noting that no major progress had been made since the BAFA was suspended in September 2009.

FIFA warned that unless BAFA came to FIFA's Congress on June 9 and 10 in South Africa having met the conditions for reinstatement it would be expelled.

The Football Association of Brunei (BAFA) was suspended from international football in September 2009.

The other expulsion in recent history was South Africa, which was thrown out in 1976 under the former apartheid regime.

However, on a brighter note Kroniz Fc lives on....
