rael is likely to suffer by the
secret action taken recently
in Guatemala by the World
Cup Committee of the Inter-
national Football Associa-
tion (FIFA), at its annual
meeting.
The members of FIFA
decided to keep Israel in the
Asian group so far as the di-
visions are concerned in
World Cup competition.
In order to soften the de-
cision, the committee, at the
same time, revealed that
any nation refusing to play

against Israel on a home-
away basis automatically
would forfeit its games.
As a result of the Com-
mittee's action, Israel's soc-
cer team will have to make
the longest trips for compe-
tition among all the 102 na-
tional teams involved. By
placing them in the Asian
bracket instead of the Euro-
pean bracket, FIFA has
managed to give the Israeli
soccer team an itinerary
whereby it will have to play
North Korea, South Korea
and Japan.
