Ethiopia Football suspension ended
FIFA announced the lifting of the suspension by the FIFA Executive Committee on the Ethiopian Football Federation (EFF) on the condition that the electoral committee which has been installed would “organise and chair an elective general assembly by the end of July 2009.”
FIFA suspended the EFF in July after it failed to comply with the roadmap agreed in February 2008 aimed at normalising the situation of the federation. The problems at the EFF began in January 2008, when its general assembly fired Dr Ashebir. The assembly wanted to remove the president for what they said was the "dismal" record of Ethiopian football, and elected Ahmed Yasin to replace him. However, according to BBC, the January meeting was not recognised by Fifa, who has been trying to find a solution ever since.
In another development, FIFA gave Nigeria a deadline of 11 June to commit to hosting the under-17 World Cup or face forfeiting the tournament. Nigeria is due to host the 24-team event from 24 October to 15 November. But FIFA is unhappy that several cities have yet to prove their suitability to stage matches.
