EDITOR’S NOTE: Woyannes are at odds with every one, including an international football body. They are a bunch of boneheads who argue with U.N. officials about the existence of famine in Ethiopia.
(APA) ADDIS ABABA — Ethiopia Bonehead Woyannes on Wednesday rejected FIFA’s roadmap, introduced to resolve the dispute gripping the management of Ethiopian football, APA learns here.
Accordingly, the Ethiopian Football Federation (EFF) said that the general assembly of the federation is the only legal body to pass any decision regarding the Ethiopian football management, including electing a new president for the federation.
FIFA has suspended Ethiopia from any international competition in July 2008 following the appointment of a new president by the EFF.
FIFA rejected the appointment of EFF’s new president and other administrative staff, which it says is illegal and unacceptable.
However, the federation, which holds an emergency meeting on the issue on Wednesday said in its resolution that FIFA’s roadmap, which demands the return of the former president is unacceptable.
EFF also asked FIFA to lift its suspension and allow Ethiopia to participate in the ongoing African Nations Cup and World Cup qualifiers.
“Both FIFA and CAF are not on the right way regarding the Ethiopian football situation. We ask them to reconsider their decision and follow fair and legal means,” EFF said. “The current management was elected legally and is the only legal body of the federation.”
It is to be recalled that last week, FIFA banned the second game of Ethiopia against Morocco as part of its suspension.
Ethiopia will remain barred from participating in any game, including the on-going World Cup and African Nations Cup qualifiers.
