Chad free to play in qualifiers

Fifa HQ
Officials at Fifa headquarters have freed Chad to play

Football's world governing body Fifa has lifted its ban on Chad.

The move allows the country to take part in World and Nations Cup qualifying, which starts in a few weeks.

The move comes after the Chadian government anulled a previous edict suspending the FA's executive committee.

Chad face Congo-Brazzavile, Mali and Sudan in their qualifying group for the two tournaments.
