FIFA said in a statement that it had requested “ that both be allowed to access the SLFA premises without further delay to ensure that the operations of the SLFA , including FIFA -funded projects, are not jeopardised. ”

“ The suspension will be lifted once the SLFA and its recognised leadership …
have confirmed to FIFA that the SLFA administration , premises , accounts and communication channels are under their control once again , ” the statement said.
