Soccer: Oceania explores Fifa options

The Oceania Football Confederation is to meet in Auckland tomorrow to discuss how to regain its right to vote for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosts.

The hosts are set to be chosen by 22 rather than 24 voters after OFC chief Reynald Temarii - along with Nigeria's Amos Adamu - was suspended a week ago by Fifa.

But one option for the OFC is to ask Temarii to stand down, potentially clearing the way for a replacement - probably acting OFC president David Chung - to attend the vote in Zurich on December 2.

Chung would then be a 23rd voting member on the all-important Fifa panel.

Meanwhile, Fifa said it had no information on an Oceania request to change its voter, BBC News reported.
