In addition, neither FECAFOOT nor any of its members or officials can benefit from any FIFA or CAF development programmes, courses or training during the suspension period.

As a part of the process a normalisation committee will be set up to revise the FECAFOOT statues and to organise new office bearers by March 31, 2014.
