FIFA President Sepp Blatter Resigns [VIDEO]
After only five days of being re-elected as Fifa president, Sepp Blatter has resigned from his position. “I have thoroughly thought about my presidency and the 40 years Fifa has played in my life. " Blatter said " I love Fifa more than anything else and I only want to do the best. I decided to stand again for election for the good of football.”
The New York Times revealed that, FIFA's official organization's secretary-general, Jérôme Valcke was the man who received a $10 million bribe for the 2010 South Africa World Cup.
Sepp Blatter announced he will call an extraordinary meeting for a new election to replace him immediately. Blatter said “I will organise extraordinary congress for a replacement for me as president. I will not stand. I am now free from the constraints of an election. I will be in a position to focus on profound reforms. For many years we have called for reforms. But these are not sufficient.”
Prince Ali bin al-Hussein was the sole challenger to embattled FIFA president Sepp Blatter. I expect him to win the bid for the next President in the fall of this year.
