FIFA have threatened to ban Portugal from all of their competitions unless the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) revise their statues as a matter of urgency, according to press reports here on Friday.<\/p>\n
In a letter to the FPF published in sports daily A Bola, world football’s governing body expressed their “deep concern” at the blocking of a planned revision of the federation’s statues by a minority of members.<\/p>\n
The revision, demanded by the Portuguese government and international authorities, concerns an amendment to the rules of representation of different federation members – clubs, athletes, coaches and regional associations.<\/p>\n
It is opposed, however, by some of these regional associations who will see their power within the FPF reduced.<\/p>\n
FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke demanded that FPF ensure that the revision goes ahead “in line with the general principles and statues of FIFA” or risk a ban which would mean “no Portuguese team (including the clubs) could have international contacts.”<\/p>\n
The FPF have already been sanctioned by the Portuguese government who suspended their public utility statute last April, depriving them of the resulting financial support.<\/p>\n
In response, FPF have scheduled a general assembly for March 19 and called on the “good sense” of their members to prevail “to avoid serious harm to Portuguese football.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
