FIFA has threatened to ban Tunisia from the 2022 World Cup,
after comments from the country’s sports minister.
Tunisia’s participation in next month’s tournament is under
threat after the youth and sports minister, Kamel Deguiche, spoke about the
possibility of “dissolving federal offices of different disciplines”.
FIFA seemingly took that to mean the Tunisian Football
Association (FTF).
In a leaked letter, which was published by radio station
Mosaique FM, the world football governing body has asked for clarification of
these comments.
The letter noted “State authorities’ attempts to interfere
in the Tunisian Federation’s internal affairs and its threats to dissolve FTF’s
office”.
FIFA warned that its members “are legally obligated to
conduct their affairs independently and without undue influence from third
parties.”
It added that failure to comply “may result in the
imposition of penalties under the FIFA laws, including suspension of the
relevant association.”
