Sepp Blatter says he will resign as president
of football's governing body Fifa amid a
corruption scandal.

In announcing his exit, the 79-year-old Swiss
has called an extraordinary Fifa congress "as
soon as possible" to elect a new president.

Blatter was re-elected last week, despite seven
top Fifa officials being arrested two days
before the vote as part of a US prosecution.

But he said: "My mandate does not appear to
be supported by everybody."

When will a new president be elected?
Blatter, who has been Fifa president since
1998, said: "The next ordinary Fifa congress
will take place on 13 May, 2016 in Mexico
City.

"This would create unnecessary delay and I
will urge the executive committee to organise
an extraordinary congress for the election of
my successor at the earliest opportunity.

"This will need to be done in line with Fifa's
statutes and we must allow enough time for
the best candidates to present themselves and
to campaign."

The extraordinary congress is expected to take
place between December 2015 and March
2016.
