Poland failed to reinstate the country’s football association before Monday’s deadline set by FIFA, risking suspension from all soccer competitions, and the loss of co-hosting rights for Euro 2012.
FIFA said it had received new information on the situation from the suspended Polish FA, but was still awaiting a full report following last minute talks between the government and the football association. ‘FIFA are taking the lead, but we have heard nothing concrete today from the Polish government and they must make their move because the deadline has now passed,’ a spokesman for European soccer’s governing body UEFA said.
FIFA had given the Polish government until 11am on Monday to reverse Warsaw’s decision to replace its FA with an administrator last week.
