Georgia can play WC qualifiers at home
Georgia can play their next two World Cup qualifying home matches in the capital Tbilisi, FIFA said Tuesday, after the calming of hostilities in the former Soviet republic.
Georgia, who sit bottom of Group 8 after two defeats, are to play Cyprus on October 11 and Bulgaria four days later as they bid for a place at the finals in South Africa in 2010.
The global footballing authority said it would continue to monitor the situation in the war-torn country, but that "it did not see anything to suggest that the organisation and security for these matches will not be assured."
Georgia were forced to play their 'home' tie against the Republic of Ireland on September 6 in Germany after fighting broke out with Russia in August.
