KUWAIT CITY, SEPT 15: The entire board of Kuwait's football governing body has resigned after fans were left in sweltering temperatures for hours during a World Cup qualifier against Iraq.
Board members quit after an inquiry into ticketing and logistical problems that marred Tuesday's match at the 60,000-capacity Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium, the Kuwait Football Association said in a statement late Saturday.
"The board members of the Kuwait Football Association tendered resignations en masse," Kuwait's official KUNA news agency reported, citing the statement.
According to the association website, the board had seven members.
The association also accepted the resignation of its secretary-general, Salah al-Qanai, and public relations boss Mohamed Bou Abbas, it said. —AFP
