Sepp Blatter won the FIFA presidency for a fifth time Friday after his challenger Prince Ali bin al Hussein withdrew just before a scheduled second round.
The veteran Swiss powerbroker fell seven votes short of the required 140 majority in the first round of voting.
Just before the second round was about to start the Jordanian prince, a FIFA vice president who had campaigned on the need for reform, withdrew thanking those “brave enough” to vote for him.
Blatter, 79, has been FIFA’s president since 1998 and has defied European calls to stand down as corruption scandals tarnish the multi-billion dollar body’s image.

ReplyDeleteI think Sepp Blatter and other FiFA are just bunch of corrupt official. How can one be a preseident of an organisation since 1998 and don't deem it fit to tep down, only to harrass his challengers with corruption while he himself is corrupt.
