FIFA WARNING
COUNTRIES bidding to host the 2006 World Cup have been warned by FIFA that they will be struck off the list if they step out of line with football’s governing body’s new guidelines on campaigning. This weekend, national associations in Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa — along with those in Brazil, England and Germany — are studying the rules that will govern their campaigns to host world football’s showcase. FIFA director of communications Keith Cooper says the guidelines were drawn up before the bribery scandal that has hit the International Olympic Committee, and are not a knee-jerk reaction to those events.
