Major League Soccer to see no intervention by FIFA in labor dispute

A potential work stoppage looms as a labor dispute involving Major League Soccer will not see FIFA intervention.  “FIFA understands that this domestic issue is being resolved in accordance with U.S. labor laws and does not involve the U.S. Soccer Federation."
