Fifa election: Sepp Blatter and Prince Ali battle for power

Friday 29 May 2015 05:29
Fifa’s 209 member associations will decide on Friday whether to give Sepp Blatter a fifth term as president.
World football’s governing body continues to reel from a series of damaging corruption allegations.
But the 79-year-old Blatter has already resisted calls to resign and insists he is the man to “fix things”.
Blatter, who has been at the helm of Fifa since 1998, is being challenged for the presidency by 39-year-old Jordanian Prince Ali bin al-Hussein.
Speaking on the eve of the presidential election in Zurich, Blatter admitted “these are unprecedented and difficult times for Fifa”.
