The top Football body of the world, FIFA is concerned about the news of no development in Al-Araibi Case and to see what they can do to help the situation of the Footballer, they met with representatives of World Players Association.

Mr. Al-Araibi is a football player and Bahrain national who is currently being detained in prison in Thailand since more than 60 days in contravention of his internationally recognised human rights.
This situation should not have arisen, in particular, since Mr Al-Araibi now lives, works and plays as a professional footballer in Australia, where he has been accorded refugee status.

All participants in yesterday’s meeting expressed grave concern and agreed on the emergency of the situation.
“The meeting has been very productive and has allowed us to exchange very useful information on the case, especially after Mr Foster had met Hakeem Al-Araibi last week in Bangkok. We strongly urge the authorities in Thailand and Bahrain to do the right thing and ensure Mr Al-Araibi can go back safely to Australia as a matter of urgency”, said Fatma Samoura.
