FIFA Presidency: Blatter's Successor To Emerge December 16

Posted by Lolade on Wed 10th Jun, 2015 - tori.ng

December 16 has been hinted as a likely date for the appointment of the new FIFA President to succeed Sepp Blatter who has led the football governing body for 17years...

Findings have revealed that December 16 is the likely date for an emergency meeting in Zurich to decide Sepp Blatter's successor, bringing to an end his 17 year reign as FIFA president.

Representatives from all 209 member associations will be invited to the Swiss city to vote in a new presidential election.

The 79-year old FIFA president quit his post of the world football’s governing body just four days after he was re-elected last month.

The Swiss tendered his resignation amid two corruption probes of his organisation.

Seven FIFA officials were arrested on May 27 following a dawn raid on a luxury hotel in Zurich.

They were among 14 officials and associates indicted by United States authorities on racketeering and bribery charges.

Swiss prosecutors have also begun a criminal investigation into how the rights for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups were awarded.
