FIFA President announces temporary lifting of Iran's suspension

FIFA President Joseph Blatter's announcement will enable Iran to compete in the 2006 Doha Asian Games football tournament in December and will give the Iranians an opportunity to defend their 2002 title. The lifting of the ban only applies to Iran's under 23 team and the 2006 Asian Games. I first told you of the suspension on November 25 in "FIFA suspends Iran Football Federation".
