Kuwait FA Faces FIFA Suspension
Kuwait Football Association (KFA) announced that FIFA dispatched a
letter to the association Thursday opposing the new law that governs
Kuwaiti football. The letter specified Oct 15 as the end of grace period
during which KFA must modify the law or face suspension of its
activities.
The message came as a shock to the sport community, which considers the
decision to be a direct interference in the internal affairs of the
State of Kuwait that may lead to the freezing of all other sport
activities until the law is amended.
Sources said a delegation from Kuwait Olympic Committee and Public
Authority for Youth and Sports (PAYS) will find a solution to the crisis
by asking for an extended grace period to modify local laws not in line
with the external bylaws, indicating a request will be presented at the
meeting of the international football committee in Zurich on 12
October, 2015.
They also said officials in the sports field and other local officials
have agreed on submitting the request to evade suspension of the
upcoming activities of KFA; otherwise, the national team may not
complete its journey in the ‘classification matches’ for the World Cup
in 2018 and the Asian Cup in 2019.
Also, Kuwait could be banned from hosting the 23rd GCC Cup scheduled to
begin on 22 December, 2015, while Qadsiya and Kuwait Clubs would be
deprived of playing their return matches for the semifinals of the Asian
Cup.
On the parliamentary level, sources said the letter is part of plot by
some local elements to distort Kuwaiti sports based on personal
interests, warning the country on succumbing to frivolities that aim to
incite chaos in the country.
They expected the government and PAYS will take a decisive stance
toward the issue and ask for an extension of the grace period to look
into the law, without making any promise on amendment, stressing the
entire issue should be left in the hand of the National Assembly to
discuss in the upcoming legislative term that begins 28 October .
For his part, member of the Parliamentary Youth and Sports Committee MP
Abdullah Al-Turaiji called for the government to take necessary legal
procedures to protect Kuwait’s sovereignty and the legal right of
passing laws to manage its country’s affairs, suggesting that Sheikh
Ahmad Al-Fahd and his brother Talal should be kept from harming the
interests of Kuwait, particularly youth and sports sector. He reaffirmed
that FIFA dares not interfere in the sovereignty of other countries in
the Gulf, although sports laws are similar in all GCC states.
He emphasized that Kuwait’s case is somewhat different because of
certain fingers helping FIFA to pick at her sovereignty. He reiterated
the need to take legal measures to stop Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahd from
harming the interests of Kuwait by withdrawing from the Asian Olympic
Council, and then suspend the financial support to the union and Olympic
Committee, as well as clubs and unions that support him.
