WORLD football body, FIFA, on Friday, March 17, in Zurich, said all of Mali’s football clubs have been suspended from international competitions after the country’s government interfered in the national association.

FIFA took action after Housseini Amion Guindo, Mali’s sports minister, decided to replace the executive body of the Malian Football Association FEMAFOOT with a new provisional leadership. “The suspension will be lifted once ministerial decisions are nullified,’’ it said in a statement.

In the meantime, FEMAFOOT has lost its FIFA membership rights, and the national team and clubs from the West African country are banned from international events.
