Venezuela's national team have threatened to stop representing their country in World Cup 2018 qualifying, and they have demanded the removal of the "coaching staff and directors" from their football federation.
EFE reported players reacted angrily to claims by Venezuelan Football Federation head Laureano Gonzalez they tried to force the removal of coach Noel Sanvicente, and they have issued a statement via social media demanding reform in the governing body.
A total of 15 players tweeted the unilateral stance, according to Sports Illustrated, and they declared their intention to not feature for Venezuela while certain figures were still involved with the organisation.
