On 3 July 2006, the Hellenic Football Federation was indefinitely suspended from all international competition due to concerns about its autonomy from the Greek government. Although no announcement was made regarding this tournament in particular, this seemed to preclude the Greek team from participating. [cite web |author=FIFA Media Dept. |title=FIFA suspends the Hellenic Football Federation |publisher=FIFA.com |accessdate=2006-09-03 |url=http://www.fifa.com/en/media/index/0,1369,118144,00.html?articleid=118144 ] Following rectifying action by the Greek government, FIFA subsequently lifted the suspension on 12 July 2006, allowing Greece to participate in qualifying.
