(Reuters) - FIFA executive committee member Worawi Makudi has refused to give up control of the Thailand Football Association (FAT)despite his presidential term ending over a week ago and no new date set for elections.

A vote had been set for the final day of Worawi's two-year term on June 16 but he cancelled it after fourth tier club Pattaya FC managed to get a court injunction blocking controversial reforms the president had hoped to push through a day before the election.
