Fifa suspends Bosnia & Hercegovina

It’s not an April Fool’s joke... Bosnia-Hercegovina has been suspended from world football after refusing to comply to governing body Fifa's regulations.

The Bosnian-Hercegovina Football Federation (NSBIH) had been ordered to change its three-man presidency into one single position by both Fifa and European body Uefa.

But the move was rejected at a NSBIH meeting on Wednesday, prompting Fifa to take immediate action.

The suspension means Bosnia-Hercegovina cannot play any international matches.
