Bangladesh authorities jailed a senior FIFA member, hours after she was arrested for allegedly defaming the country's leader. Mahfuza Akhter, a FIFA council member and national chief of women's soccer, had told a TV talk show that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had neglected football in the cricket-mad country. A Dhaka court issued an arrest warrant against Mahfuza after a complaint from a local sports administrator.
