FIFA's threat to suspend the Spanish FA (RFEF) over alleged government interference will be further discussed by FIFA's executive committee.

Although not explicitly named in the meeting agenda previously issued by FIFA, spokesman Andreas Herren confirmed that the Spanish issue is one of the "legal and sports political matters" scheduled for discussion in Zurich.

They are also due to continue talks on the English Premier League"s proposal to take an extra match day on tour around the world, something they previously described as a "joke".

If the RFEF (current president Angel Maria Villar pictured) were suspended, Spain would be barred from playing in the European Championship finals in Austria and Switzerland in June.

According to a senior source at FIFA, no final decision is expected to be taken in regard to Spain's possible suspension but the committee is likely to support calls by FIFA president Sepp Blatter for the Spanish government to back down.

Blatter is angry at the government's instructions for all Spanish sporting federations not involved in August's Beijing Olympic Games to hold elections in the first quarter of 2008.

The FIFA president insisted last month that the directive amounted to political interference since the Spanish FA were not due to hold their elections until November.

"It would be tough, but it would only take six hours to call a FIFA emergency meeting to hear and decide upon Spain's exclusion," Blatter declared.

"Spain would not be able to play at Euro 2008 and their clubs wouldn't continue in the Champions League or UEFA Cup."

The Spanish government, backed by a court ruling on February 29, maintains it is legally entitled to call for early elections within its national sporting bodies.

The Premier League tour proposal has already been opposed strongly both locally and in foreign countries, leading chief executive Richard Scudamore to take his plans back to the drawing board.
