No Albanian teams or officials are allowed to take part in any UEFA-organized match or event until further notice, UEFA said on Wednesday.

"No Albanian representative may participate at any UEFA committee meetings, courses, workshops, events, and no Albanian referee, delegate, venue director or other official may be involved at any UEFA match or event," UEFA said in a statement.

The European soccer's governing body made the decision after the country was suspended from international match by FIFA, the organization said.

"UEFA and FIFA hope to solve this conflict during the next two months, depending on the collaboration of the Albanian government," the statement said.

FIFA claimed that Albanian government exerted a heavy political interference into the national soccer federation's affairs.
