SARS might force soccer Cup out of China.(Chicago Tribune)
Byline: Philip Hersh
CHICAGO _ The international soccer federation (FIFA) executive committee could decide Saturday to move the women's World Cup from China because of the SARS epidemic.
The decision will come after a recommendation from FIFA's medical commission, which has been getting reports from the World Health Organization.
The medical commission met Wednesday. Its chairman, Dr. Michel D'Hooghe of Belgium, declined to comment in advance on any aspects of the recommendation.
Executive committee member Chuck Blazer of the United States said he expected FIFA to make a "sensible" decision about the tournament, scheduled Sept. 23-Oct 11 in five Chinese cities south and west of Beijing.
Would sensible be a switch to Australia?
That possibility first was suggested in an April 11 Tribune article that quoted Soccer Australia's chief executive saying he was sure his country could do a good job on short notice. Three days later, the Australian federation called a news conference to say it is prepared to host the World Cup if asked. The Aussie women have qualified for the tournament.
