[01] FIFA- UEFA-CFA DISCUSSIONS TURKISH CYPRIOT FOOTBALL CLUBS
The status of Turkish Cypriot football clubs will be discussed during a
meeting on September 20 in Zurich, between the International Federation
of Football Associations (FIFA), the European Union of Football
Associations (UEFA), the Cyprus Football Association (CFA) and the
Turkish Cypriots.
UEFA Vice President and honourary CFA President Marios Lefkaritis told
CNA that the aim of the meeting ``is to examine the status of the
Turkish Cypriots and how we at CFA can help the Turkish Cypriots have
more opportunities to play football.``
He pointed out that ``the only football federation in Cyprus is CFA and
no other federation will be recognised.``
Lefkaritis said CFA has never prevented the Turkish Cypriots playing
football but reminded them that ``if you want to play football on an
international basis, then you must join CFA.``
``CFA`s principle is to accept the membership of Turkish Cypriot clubs,
as long as they apply and pass through all legal procedures. CFA has
never refused to register a Turkish Cypriot club,`` he concluded.
