The situation you described involves the legal verdict in Benin regarding the presidency of the Benin Football Federation (FBF) and the aftermath of an eventful election. The court has ruled against Anjorin Moucharafou, ordering him to cease any interference and hand over the FBF offices. Victorien Attolou is expected to resume his position as president.
However, the mention of FIFA’s potential reaction indicates the complex nature of football governance. FIFA has strict regulations against political interference in football matters, and they often react strongly to such situations. If FIFA perceives external interference in the national football association’s affairs, it may impose sanctions, including suspensions or other penalties.
The resolution of the crisis in local football is likely to depend on how FIFA responds to the developments in Benin. Football’s global governing body typically emphasizes the autonomy of national football associations and discourages external interference. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds and what actions FIFA might take in response to the legal verdict and changes in the FBF leadership.
