Questioned the participation of Mexico in the 2011 Copa América The president of the Mexican Football Federation, Justino Compean, questioned the participation of Mexico in Copa America 2011, organized by the Confederation Sudamericana de Futbol.
Compean said the main reason is the proposal of the Union of European Football Association (UEFA) that seeks to impose any country that participates in competitions sanctioned by the confederations that does not belong.
Mexico, Ecuador from the Copa America 93 uninterrupted competes in that event, part of the Concacaf zone.
"There is a movement that UEFA does not want to play teams from different confederations guests other confederations, which is the case of Mexico," said Compean.
He added that the decision now lie between the CONMEBOL and CONCACAF.
"Mr Blatter (Sepp, FIFA president) told us that is an issue between confederations. If they fix CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, the matter will be resolved, and we no longer have to ask permission from FIFA," he added.
He accepted that, for Mexico, "we could take this risk (not to participate in the next edition of the Copa America).
However, Compean said: "I think we have enough arguments to continue to allow us Concacaf take part in the Copa America."
However, recently banned the Concacaf own participation Mexican teams in Copa Sudamericana, which punishes the very Conmebol.
Concacaf argued that the priority and obligation of the Mexican soccer is called the Champions Cup of that area.
