FIFA has ordered the cancellation of a general assembly of the Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) which had been called to vote on replacing the commission handling a presidential election.
The vote has turned into a soap opera marred by incessant infighting, attracting international attention because FIFA had appeared to be trying to freeze out Didier Drogba as a potential candidate.
A FIFA emergency committee ruled the electoral commission was “suspended for serious shortcomings” and scheduled an extraordinary general meeting on August 29 to install another commission.
