World Cup May Return to Roots FIFA wants the centenary World Cup in 2030 to be jointly staged by Uruguay and Argentina, who met in the final of the inaugural tournament, said Julio Grondona, the Argentine federation president and a senior vice president of FIFA. ■ FIFA has penalized Togo for fielding an ineligible player in a World Cup qualifier, a decision that severely damages Libya's hopes of reaching the tournament. FIFA said it overturned Togo's 2-0 home win against Cameroon on June 9, and awarded the visitors a 3-0 default victory. Cameroon now rises above Libya in the standings and leads by one point with one match remaining. Minutes later, however, FIFA suspended Cameroon because of government interference in its federation. The suspension could prevent Cameroon from playing its World Cup qualifier Sept. 6 against Libya. ■ Iraq has been declared off-limits again for international exhibition games amid a wave of deadly bombings. Iraq has played two exhibition games in Baghdad since FIFA lifted a ban in March that had applied since 2011. ■ Lionel Messi's Argentina will face Mario Balotelli's Italy next month in an exhibition game dedicated to Pope Francis. The Italian federation announced the match would be held Aug. 14 at Rome's Stadio Olimpico. The federation added that both squads would have audiences with the pope at the Vatican. Pope Francis, a soccer fan, is from Argentina.
