"Infantino confirmed to have had the opportunity to review the report submitted by the (FIFA) committee on Libya, and expressed confidence that it will not take long for international matches to return to Libya," the media office of the Libyan government said in a statement.
Infantino said the FIFA will reach a solution very soon. Infantino expressed appreciation for the urgent desire of the Libyan people and government to host international matches.
A senior FIFA delegation paid a visit here in April to consider lifting the ban.
