FIFA Congress will elect a new
president amidst the corruption
scandal that has rocked football
world; Sepp Blatter looks to win
5th term while Jordan's Prince Ali
is the challenger
Fifa's 209 member associations will
vote today to elect a new president
with the crisis engulfing football's
governing body hanging over it.
Jordanian Prince Ali bin al-Hussein,
39, is standing against 79-year-old
Swiss Sepp Blatter, who has been
president since of Fifa since 1998.
The vote takes place after bribery
and racketeering charges were laid
against top Fifa officials by US
prosecutors.
Sepp Blatter resisted calls to resign
led by Uefa president Michel Platini.
Instead Blatter, who is seeking a
fifth term of office at world football's
governing body, promised to restore
trust in Fifa and "find a way to fix
things".
