FIFA on Tuesday set up a committee to take over the running of Bosnian football and resolve rifts that led to Bosnia Hercegovina's suspension from international football this month. The six strong 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, world football's governing body said in a statement.
FIFA and European governing body 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."
