Deadlines Set for FEDEFUT

CONCACAF has informed the Guatemalan Football Federation (FEDEFUT) of the deadlines by which the suspension levied on the Federation by FIFA must be lifted.

FEDEFUT was indefinitely suspended by FIFA on October 28. While the suspension lasts, all teams representing or sanctioned by the Federation are barred from participation in international play.

Because the logistics and preparation for international tournaments require a definitive amount of preparation and lead time, and in fairness to other participating member associations, CONCACAF and the Central American Football Union (UNCAF), have set the deadlines for tournaments approaching in the next calendar year.

Should the FIFA suspension not be lifted on or before the date listed for each competition below, Guatemala will be irrevocably disqualified from that competition. A decision on revision of the format of each tournament in question, and replacement of a Guatemalan representative by another team, will be evaluated and taken on a competition-specific basis, once each deadline has passed.
