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. ”
