FIFA may expel Brunei - Blatter
FIFA President Sepp Blatter warned Friday that Brunei was in danger
of being expelled from world football in a dispute over alleged
government interference in the sport.
"The federation of Brunei have not agreed to a roadmap FIFA and the
Asian Football Confederation have proposed," Blatter told journalists
after a meeting of the world governing body's executive committee.
He warned that unless they came to FIFA's congress on June 9 and 10
in South Africa having met the conditions for reinstatement "it will be
the second time.. that FIFA had to expel a federation."
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.
