    If there will be something called Iraqi football then..

    Now with the government veteoing everything and FIFA saying that only bringing back the old FA will lift the suspension, the whole issue could take up months, if not years!

    Two weeks without a single post in this forum. Well, no one can be blamed for that. Currently, Iraqi football is dead!

    Unfortunately for Iraqi football, it does seem like no news is good news.

    Olympic committee backed off their decision, the old FA will be reinstalled. Lifting the ban will be only a question of time now.

    Fingers crossed.

    Doesn't look too good for the Futsal NT either. The issue is very complicated and might cost them the participation...

    ZURICH (AP)—FIFA has lifted a ban on Iraq that excluded the country’s teams and officials from taking part in international soccer.

    FIFA president Sepp Blatter said Friday that Iraq was welcomed back because its Olympic committee reversed a decision to disband the national soccer federation.

    Blatter said FIFA worked closely with the International Olympic Committee before lifting the ban.

    Iraqi soccer officials must present FIFA with new statutes by May 31 and hold a general assembly two months later.

    The world soccer governing body suspended Iraq in November because of political interference in soccer business. FIFA’s rules require full independence of national federations.
