HOMOSEXUALS BANNED FROM CROATIAN NATIONAL TEAM, SAYS FOOTBALL FEDERATION PRESIDENT

Croatian gay and lesbian associations have condemned Croatian Football Federation president Vlatko Markovic after he said there was no place for homosexuals on the national team. "While I'm the president of the Croatian Football Federation, there will be no homosexuals playing on the national team," Vlatko Markovic said in an interview with Croatian daily Vecernji List. Asked whether he has ever met a homosexual footballer, Markovic replied: "Luckily, only normal people play football." Gay and lesbian associations have informed Croatian media that they will sue the Football Federation President for discrimination. They also intend to report Vlatko Markovic to UEFA, European football's governing body. The Croatian national football team is in the top ten of the FIFA world ranking.
