Peru withdraw appeal and host Bolivia behind closed doors

World soccer's ruling body confirmed the decision by the Peruvian FA on its website (www.fifa.com) on Monday.





The punishment was originally handed out last month by a FIFA disciplinary committee following crowd disturbances during the 2-1 qualifying defeat by Uruguay in Lima on September 6.

Peru, who are out of the running for a place at the 2014 finals in Brazil, were also fined 20,000 Swiss francs ($22,100).
