FIFA postpones NZ vs Fiji World Cup match
FIFA has postponed a World Cup qualifier between New Zealand and Fiji, fearing a visa wrangle might set a dangerous precedent.
The move followed a New Zealand decision to bar Fiji's keeper Simione Tamanisau from entering the country because his father-in-law is a military policemen, said Oceania Football secretary Tai Nicholas.
New Zealand prohibits anyone with links to Fiji's military from entering their country and has banned sporting contact at national level as part of sanctions put in place after a military coup last December.
