Oceania confederation to discuss Temarii ban

FIFA executive committee member Temarii was last week suspended from all footballing activity for a year following an investigation into allegations he offered to sell his vote in the World Cup hosting contest to undercover newspaper reporters.

Tahiti's Temarii was the OFC's only representative on world governing body FIFA's executive committee, whose members hold all the votes for World Cup hosting.

"There's a meeting going ahead on Saturday in Auckland, the executive committee will discuss all the recent developments including the suspensions and the possible outcomes," said OFC spokeswoman Priscilla Duncan in a telephone interview.

"There's a lot to be discussed in the meeting."

FIFA's executive committee is down to 22 members after Amos Adamu of Nigeria was suspended along with Temarii.
