FIFA Crisis: UEFA Wants Presidential Election Postponed(daily Independent) by Nobody: 4:44pm On May 28, 2015 |
EUROPEAN football ’s leaders are to meet on Thursday May 28 , 2015 in the bid to postpone FIFA presidential election . UEFA does not want Friday’ s vote to go ahead after bribery and racketeering charges were laid against senior officials in football’ s governing body . “ These events show, once again, that corruption is deeply rooted in FIFA ’s culture, ” UEFA said. Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan is standing against incumbent, Sepp Blatter , in the election. UEFA said Friday’ s meeting of FIFA ’ s members risked turning into “ a farce ” and said it could even boycott the gathering . “ The UEFA member associations are meeting ahead of the FIFA Congress . At that point, the European associations will decide on what further steps need to be taken to protect the game of football ,” it added in a statement . “ In the meantime, the members of the UEFA Executive Committee are convinced that there is a strong need for a change to the leadership of this FIFA and strongly believe that the FIFA Congress should be postponed, with new FIFA presidential elections to be organised within the next six months. ” Prince Ali has called for a change of FIFA ’s leadership and said in a statement : “We cannot continue with the crisis in FIFA. ” |
