DPA - Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad interfered in a dispute between FIFA and Iran on Sunday,
calling on his vice president and close aide to give up his nomination as
president of the Iranian Football Federation (FFI). Football's world
governing body has several times stressed it would not accept a bid by Vice
President Mohammad Ali-Abadi, who is also head of Iran's sports affairs, to
run for FFI president in the next elections, saying it would constitute
governmental interference in Iranian football, violating international
regulations. |
