On November 23, 2006 the federation was suspended by FIFA [http://www.fifa.com/en/media/index/0,1369,126229,00.html?articleid=126229] , due to government interference in football matters. FIFA rules decry that a national football federation should remain autonomous from the national government. However on December 17, 2006 the ban was lifted and a new Transitory Board was composed of Mohsen Safaei Farahani as chairman, Kiomars Hashemi as deputy chairman and Mohammad Hassan Ansarifar, Dr Hassan Ghaffari, Dr Mohammad Khabiri and Ali Reghbati as members.
