FIFA hands Peru international ban
25/11/2008 9:38

FIFA handed Peru an international competition ban following FIFA president Sepp Blatter's warning, a senior South American Football Confederation (CSF) said yesterday in Asuncion.

Blatter last week warned that Peru may face an international ban if their football federation and government are not to end a long feud until yesterday.

CSF secretary general Eduardo de Luca said in the Paraguayan capital that FIFA materialized its warning.

The Peruvian government's Institute of Sports does not recognize FPF president Manuel Burga, claiming his election was irregular.
