KHARTOUM, Aug 4 FIFA has given Sudan an Aug 15 deadline to rerun their Football Association presidential election or face suspension from international soccer.

FIFA said it did not recognise the Sudanese Football Association (SFA) vote on July 26 which elected Mutasim Jaafar as the new president because the government barred the former SFA chief from standing for a third term.

World soccer's governing body, which requires governments to refrain from meddling in national soccer federations, said earlier that other candidates had also been barred.—Reuters
