Play on, CCL: Guatemalan clubs in CONCACAF Champions League will (probably) not be suspended

While the New York Red Bulls battled Antigua GFC to a 0-0 draw in Guatemala City, the Confederacion Deportiva Autonoma de Guatemala (CDAG) was meeting for the second time in two days to consider (in effect) the short-term future of Guatemalan soccer.

A couple of weeks ago, FIFA notified the Guatemalan Football Federation (FEDEFUT) of its intention to suspend it - and therefore, effectively, boot Guatemalan teams out of international competitions - if it did not persuade CDAG to reverse its decision to suspend the FIFA "normalization committee" that is technically running Guatemalan soccer at the moment.
