FIFA have banned Cameroon from international competition due to state meddling in their football association, meaning they fail to gain from a decision to dock rivals Togo three points for fielding a suspended player in their World Cup campaign. In a statement, FIFA said that Cameroon’s FA, had been suspended with immediate effect owing to “government interference”, but did not elaborate. FIFA statutes require that the game’s national governing bodies be able to conduct their affairs free from official control. It said a special committee would be set up to organise elections for a new governing body by the end of March next year, and would meantime run the game in Cameroon.
