FIFA Suspends Chad

  By Sampson Adedeji The Bureau of the FIFA Council decided to suspend the Chadian Football Association (FTFA) with immediate effect due to government interference, BSNSports.com.ng reports. Confederation of African Football ( CAF) had earlier in March handed Chad suspension and were also thrown out of the 2021 African Cup Of Nations qualifiers. 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 The suspension will be lifted once the relevant government decisions have been repealed and the FTFA and its management, led by President Moctar Mahamoud Hamid, have confirmed to FIFA that the FTFA premises are again under its control.
