WAFF Suspends AFFA
29.07.2014 LISTEN

The WAFF Executive Committee has formally suspended recognition of the Amputee Football Federation of Africa.

AFFA was formed as a Confederation to represent the specific needs of amputee football playing Members in Africa.

WAFF President Rick Hofmann said the suspension was required due to irregularities in AFFA's original application, and due to on-going misrepresentations by the organization's leadership regarding it's documents of authority.

He emphasized that the suspension is limited to the AFFA itself and has no direct impact on WAFF members-in-good-standing.

But the ruling does mean that WAFF has also withdrawn recognition AFFA sponsored tournaments and events, and that the accomplishments of teams and individuals who participate in such events will not count toward world rankings or individual accomplishment records.

The AFFA leadership has been informed that reinstatement is possible with complete, proper documentation and that WAFF rules and regulations must be acknowledged and adhered to.
