FIFA has suspended the Chadian Football Federation (FTFA) due to government interference.

This comes after the Chadian Ministry of Youth and Sports stripped the country's FA of its powers on March 10 following concerns over the way it was being run and a breakdown in communication.

The statement read;

“The suspension was prompted by the recent decisions of Chadian government authorities to permanently withdraw the powers delegated to the FTFA, establish a national committee for the temporary management of football and seize control of the FTFA’s premises.”

The suspension will be lifted once the relevant government decisions have been repealed and the FTFA and its management, led by President Moctar Mahamoud Hamid, have confirmed to FIFA that the FTFA premises are again under its control.
