ZURICH (Reuters) - FIFA will hold the next meeting of its decision making Council by video-conference from its Zurich headquarters rather than in Asuncion as originally planned, the global soccer body said on Tuesday.

The decision was taken "at the request of several members", FIFA said in a short statement, adding that members who wished to attend the March 20 meeting in person were still welcome.
