Leaders of Iraqi football will meet today in northern Iraq to try to end a dispute about who should head the sport and avoid being banned from international games.
The battle over who should lead the Iraqi Football Association underlines the extent to which sectarian divisions between Sunni and Shia affect every activity in the country, from sports to control of the government.
The battle over the leadership of Iraq's most popular sport, is being fought between Hussein Saeed, a Sunni Arab close to the old regime of Saddam Hussein, and Falah Hassan, a Shia supported by the present government.
