Changing Room Chat: Fifa warns AFA over Belgrano bid

FIFA has warned the Argentina Football Association that the move to rename their top league after the General Belgrano cruiser sunk during the Falklands War may breach rules on political involvement with football.

Football’s world governing body has reminded the AFA of Article 3 of the Fifa Statutes which prohibits “any kind of discrimination against a country, private person or group of people on account of ethnic origin, gender, language, religion, politics or any other reason.”
