Abu Dhabi: The UAE FA has asked its General Assembly to hold an extraordinary meeting to form a new committee which will supervise the elections of a new board of directors in April.
According to Fifa's new Unified Elections Regulations, sent to all members of the world football governing body, all the members of the committee should be members of the FA congress and thus the present committee, headed by Hamad Bin Brook, which was formed by former FA Chairman, Yousuf Al Serkal before his resignation, should be disbanded.
The FA congress can decide to keep the old committee in office but elect three new members to complete the number to seven members with only four in the committee at present.
The election was scheduled to be held on April 12 but it is expected to be postponed due to the new developments. This was decided on Wednesday night in the meeting of the FA board of directors, headed by new chairman Mohammad Thani Al Rumaithi.
The meeting accepted the resignation of Mohammad Bin Dokhan as general secretary for the period until the elections and thanked him for his four- years service. It appointed Abdulla Al Eijla as secretary general, while Ali Bujissaim was appointed vice-chairman, Younus Khory kept his position as head the Financial Committee, Bin Dokhan is to head the Technical Committee, Hamad Harith the Competitions Committee and Ganem Ahmad to head the Players' Status Committee.
