Congo Republic seeks talks with FIFA to lift suspension


BRAZZAVILLE (Reuters) - The Republic of Congo said on Monday that it will hold discussions with world's football governing body FIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to lift sanctions that bar its federation from international competitions.

FIFA, in consultation with Africa's football governing body, on Friday suspended Congo due to third-party interference in the central African nation's football affairs, which violates its obligations under FIFA's rules. Congo denies this.
