A leadership dispute at Djibouti's football federation escalated as police occupied its headquarters and a group of club presidents met to remove Souleiman Waberi. The Guardian reports that the federation rejected the meeting as improperly convened and disputed its decisions. Sources supporting the meeting said the required number of delegates was present and that an interim committee had been established. The parties therefore offer conflicting accounts of the process; the report does not resolve its legitimacy or establish a new FIFA sanction.
