IRNA - World football body FIFA has extended
on Wednesday Iran's suspension until December 12, reiterating that the
Iranian Football Federation has to meet all the conditions set by FIFA and
the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
"Iran has until December 12 to accept the specified conditions, and failure
to do so will result in the suspension staying in force," said a FIFA
statement following a meeting of the FIFA Executive Committee.
FIFA partially lifted Iran's suspension to allow Iran's Under-23 national
team to compete in the Asian Games in Doha, Qatar, however the overall
suspension is still in effect, FIFA spokesman Andreas Herren told IRNA
earlier.
The FIFA official added there are ongoing 'contacts on the highest levels'
between Iranian sports officials and the FIFA and AFC presidents.
