Club ends court action over FIFA ban fears

SANTIAGO, Chile: Legal action brought by Chilean club Rangers to try to annul their relegation that could have left Chile suspended by FIFA and out of the World Cup was withdrawn on Thursday.

The creditors of bankrupt Rangers, who are in administration, asked the club's administrator Cristian Herrera to withdraw the action.

"Following the arrival of the FIFA communique, the creditors ... called on me to withdraw the case filed in the courts of justice in order not to prejudice the club," Herrera told the Chilean CDF channel.
