The clash between President José Mujica and a football association could lead to FIFA removing Uruguay from the World Cup if the organization sees Mujica's decision as "interference in football affairs," according to leading newspapers El País and El Observador in Uruguay.
Uruguay's President José Mujica said Thursday that his country had agreed to receive detainees from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, calling the decision a matter of human rights.
