FIFA lifts Kuwait’s 2-year ban from international soccer
FIFA President Gianni Infantino is in Kuwait to confirm the government is no longer interfering in how the soccer federation is being run .
FIFA says the “ Kuwait Parliament has adopted a new sports law ” which complies with its statutes .
The ban was imposed in October 2015 , leaving Kuwait unable to play its World Cup qualifiers . Because the 2019 Asian Cup qualifying program was linked to the World Cup , Kuwait also dropped out of the continental competition .
Kuwait remains suspended by the International Olympic Committee . Its athletes competed at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics as an independent team.
