Iraq's Olympic committee dissolved the Iraqi Football Association on Monday, drawing a quick warning from FIFA that any government meddling in the federation could lead to the suspension of Iraq's teams.
Samir al-Moussawi, a member of the Olympic committee's executive bureau, said the football association was being disbanded because of alleged financial and administrative irregularities and the repeated delaying of internal elections.
