Soccer-FIFA, UEFA suspend Bosnia from international competition
SARAJEVO – Soccer's world and European governing bodies suspended Bosnia from international competition on Friday after the country's football federation (NFSBiH) failed to adopt new statutes in line with FIFA and UEFA rules, Reuters reported.
The decision means Bosnia may not be able to carry on playing their Euro 2012 qualifiers after UEFA warned their presidential system had to change for their national team and clubs to avoid a suspension coming into effect.
"FIFA and UEFA deeply regret that this decision had to be taken and will meet shortly to discuss the next steps required to try to bring NSBiH back into the football family as soon as possible," a joint statement from the governing bodies said.
