The suspension was caused by factional fighting and political interference in the FFSL administration. However, the different factions decided to work for the common goal of the game's development at a meeting held two weeks ago. The FIFA had significantly called for the exclusion of local football administration from the existing national sports law which empowers the minister of sports to interfere in the process.
