Iran:Fifa suspends Iran for ‘government meddling’

According to news, Fifa suspends Iranian Football (Soccer) team because of alleged government meddling. Kamangir says recently, in his efforts to change everything at his will, Ahmadinejad assigned one of his allies as the head of the sports’ organization. Consequently, to find someone else to blame for Iran’s loss in the World Cup, the head of Iran’s football federation was fired. In the Islamic Republic eyes, this was nothing more than a daily practice of power.
