LA PAZ (AP) Bolivia President Evo Morales says FIFA's decision to ban all international soccer matches above 2,500 meters discriminates against Latin America's high-altitude nations.
FIFA's ruling on Sunday drew outrage from fans and administrators across Latin America, and Morales said on Monday he will fight the decision.
The Andean Community of Nations — including Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, each with cities above the limit — sent FIFA president Joseph Blatter a letter Monday calling for the ruling to be overturned.
