Kuwait WCQs Cancelled Shock
FIFA has informed the AFC, Kuwait Football Association, Laos Football
Association and Korea Republic Football Association that, taking into
account the suspension
of the Kuwait FA, the Kuwait-Laos and Korea Republic-Kuwait 2018 FIFA
World Cup™ qualifying matches, scheduled for 24 and 29 March 2016
respectively, cannot take place as things stand at the time of writing.
They were also informed that these matters are to be referred to the FIFA Disciplinary Committee for its consideration. Further information will follow in due time.

COMMENT - Why has it taken so long to give this decision? Having missed a couple of games already and with no attempt apparently made to rearrange those fixtures surely it was obvious these games would not take place. Indonesia were kicked out straight away, why the dithering over Kuwait? What am I doing, expecting logic from those people?
