ZURICH (AP) — FIFA has delayed a decision on clearing Kosovo teams to play international soccer exhibitions until after Serbia forms a new government.
Sepp Blatter says FIFA executive committee will revisit the subject at a Sept. 27-28 meeting in Zurich.
Kosovo has been out of world soccer since declaring independence from Serbia in 2008, because its sovereignty has not been recognized by the United Nations.
Blatter won provisional approval from FIFA member countries’ for Kosovo to play national and club teams, despite opposition from European soccer body UEFA.
