Maradona seeks an audit of the Argentine Football Association

Argentina great Diego Maradona called for an audit into the nation's football association after meeting with FIFA's normalization committee.

Diego Maradona was left furious after a meeting with FIFA's normalization committee in place for the Argentine Football Federation (AFA), with the football great claiming talks "went backwards."

Maradona arrived at the AFA headquarters Wednesday to meet with Primo Corvaro and Montserrat Gimenez — who are in charge of the committee — to talk about the recent controversies surrounding Argentine football.

The 1986 World Cup winner hoped to sort out the crisis surrounding the Argentina Olympic team, after doubts were lingering over the nation's participation at the upcoming Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro.
