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 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."
