FIFA satisfied with Poland's agreement

World soccer's governing body FIFA has dropped all sanctions against Poland after Warsaw reached an agreement with its football association (PZPN), FIFA president Sepp Blatter said on Monday.

Warsaw had until 10 a.m. Monday to reinstate its PZPN board, which it failed to do and risked suspension from all soccer competition and the loss of co-hosting rights for Euro 2012. However, Blatter told reporters in Brussels that FIFA received a report that an agreement has been reached with the government and FA.

"We have received letters and documents that there has been an agreement between the FA and the Polish government," Blatter said. "If this agreement comes into force tomorrow it is sufficient for us. We will not impose any sanctions once the agreement comes into force."

Poland now needs to remove its government-appointed administrator, and Blatter said the government has agreed to do this. (AO)
