Latin American leaders are joining together against a FIFA banthat would bar games in several of the region's cities.
Bolivia's President Evo Morales is galvanizing other leaders in an effort to fight the international soccer organization's May 27 ban on matches in cities, including La Paz, more than 2,500 meters above sea level, according to a May 29 article on iAfrica.com. The ban also would exclude Bogota, Colombia and Quito, Ecuador.
FIFA issued the ruling to protect players' health.
