FIFA ousts Iran for interference

ZURICH (Reuters) - FIFA said on Thursday it had suspended Iran from all international soccer activity because of government interference in running the game in the country.

The move comes just five months after Iran took part in the World Cup finals in Germany and a week after Iran sealed their place in the 2008 Asian Cup finals, winning their qualifying group by beating South Korea 2-0 in Tehran.
