FIFA visit Bolivia looking to help federation

FBF headquarters in La Paz are set to be auctioned and its bank accounts frozen but the meeting between football enthusiast Morales and envoys from the game's world governing body concluded after two hours without any concrete agreements.

"We discussed the (FBF's tax) problems in general, not concrete measures. We are talking. The meeting was very positive and we'll see what comes of it," FIFA envoy Primo Corvaro told a news conference.

The meeting was held only a few hours after Bolivia's tax authorities confirmed the auctioning next Monday of the head offices of the FBF, which has long standing debts of $2.1 million.

Morales, unhappy with the FBF and the way football is run in his country, had previously refused to meet with FBF directors including their recently re-elected president Carlos Chavez, who sought FIFA's help after failing to get the auction halted.

"There are details (of the meeting) that we can't reveal. We haven't come here to modify the structures of Bolivian law," Figueredo told reporters.

"We've come to try to unify the differences that exist today in Bolivian football... We've tried to create a link between FIFA, the Conmebol, the federation and the government that will in time benefit Bolivian football," Figueredo said.

"That a government should receive FIFA, that the Conmebol should be present here and be received by the president, that's positive."
