FIFA has suspended Trinidad and Tobago from international soccer after its football association (TTFA) pursued a dispute through the country’s High Court in contravention of the world governing body’s statutes.

The TTFA and FIFA have been at loggerheads since March after the world governing body dissolved the executive of the cash-strapped association.
