ASUNCION (Reuters) - FIFA warned the Argentine FA (AFA) on Wednesday it faces possible suspension if it does not accept South American soccer's governing body CONMEBOL as arbiter in vetting candidates for AFA presidential elections.

The warning was made three weeks before Argentina’s crucial 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Bolivia.
