Myanmar handed World Cup ban
Myanmar have been banned by FIFA from qualifying for the 2018 World Cup following the crowd trouble which marred their match against Oman in July.
The ASEAN nation was also handed a US$28,000 fine by football's governing body.
The ban comes after trouble flared in the Myanmar capital of Yangon during a second round qualifying game for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
With Myanmar trailing 2-0 on the day and 4-0 on aggregate, Myanmar fans threw rocks and bottles at Japanese referee Ryuji Sato, visiting coach Paul Le Guen and the Oman players, following a hotly disputed penalty which was converted by Ismail al Ajmi.
Referee Sato abandoned the game shortly before half-time and FIFA duly awarded Oman a 2-0 win.
In a statement, FIFA's Disciplinary Committee ruled that the Myanmar Football Federation breached the Disciplinary Code in terms of the conduct of their supporters.
