GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - A Guatemalan sports confederation has voted to reinstate a FIFA-appointed oversight committee, officials said, in a bid to head off the suspension of the country's national soccer federation.

The vote came late on Tuesday. The Sports Confederation of Guatemala (CDAG) had blocked the committee from overseeing the federation known as Fedefut after four local players said they had been wrongly been accused of doping.
