ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC-Football’s world governing body FIFA is threatening to penalize the Dominica Football Association (DFA) if it proceeds with plans to resolve a dispute in the local court.
FIFA’s Ethics Committee member Primo Corvaro issued the warning after former President Dexter Francis brought DFA to court over wages and the legality of Glen Etienne as president of DFA.
Francis raised his legal challenge three days before the delegate’s election scheduled for June 27th forcing the event to be pushed back to August 1.
“In the future, after the election, should there be any football stakeholder going to any ordinary court, he must be sanctioned and should there be any decision from any judicial authorities imposing something on the DFA, the case will be taken seriously by FIFA and CONCACAF, meaning that sanctions will come,” warned Corvaro as he met with the press late Monday.
“You can’t leave the judicial system to take action, if that is done you can well imagine what will happen in that situation”.
