FIFA says it will consider changes to its policy that blocks league matches from being played in other countries as part of an agreement with a soccer promoter to dismiss the world governing body from a lawsuit challenging that policy. Relevent Sports lawyer Jeffrey L. Kessler filed a letter Monday in U.S.

FILE - The original FIFA World Cup trophy is displayed during the 2018 soccer World Cup draw in the Kremlin in Moscow, Dec. 1, 2017. FIFA says it will consider changes to its policy that blocks league matches from being played in other countries as part of an agreement with a soccer promoter to dismiss the world governing body from a lawsuit challenging that policy.

“FIFA and Relevent have agreed to resolve this matter as it concerns FIFA, pending FIFA’s consideration of changes to existing FIFA policies with respect to playing official season games outside of a league’s home territory,” FIFA said in a statement. “FIFA has not admitted any liability and continues to deny the legal claims alleged in Relevent’s complaint.”Kane’s last chance of a trophy this season is in the Champions League.
