FIFA set up a committee on Tuesday to take over Bosnian soccer federation and solve rifts that led to Bosnia Hercegovina's suspension from international football this month.
The normalisation committee will immediately cut off the old tripatrite leadership by May 26 and reform the country's football federation by the end of November, FIFA said in a statement. tory burch shoes flats
FIFA and UEFA suspended Bosnia Hercegovina from international and European football on April 1 after the country's federation ( NSBIH) failed to adopt statutes that would lead to a single-member presidency.
"The FIFA Emergency Committee has decided today 12 April 2011 to appoint a normalisation committee in order to solve the problems faced by the Football Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FFBH)," FIFA said.
"After discussions with various stakeholders and following consultation with UEFA, a six person normalisation committee with football personalities from Bosnia-Hercegovina has been established and put in place with immediate effect."
"The normalisation committee acts immediately as football federation of Bosnia Hercegovina executive committee as well as FFBH emergency committee," it added.
European and world footballing chiefs have demanded that NSBIH' s ethnic-based tripartite presidency -- consisting of a Croat, a Muslim and a Serb member -- be replaced by a single president, to overcome divisions that blocked decision making.
Bosnia are currently involved in qualifying for the 2012 European Championships to be held in Poland and Ukraine, playing in Group D. Their next game is against Romania on June 3.
