FIFA candidates confirmed
ZURICH. — FIFA yesterday confirmed the final five candidates to take over from the banned Sepp Blatter as head of the world body one month from the vote.
FIFA’s electoral committee said Prince Ali bin al Hussein, Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al Khalifa, Gianni Infantino, Tokyo Sexwale and Jerome Champagne had all been admitted for the final campaigning.
The vote, caused by Blatter’s decision to stand down amid growing scandal, will be held in Zurich on February 26. “The Ad-hoc Electoral Committee has formally admitted and declared the candidates eligible for the election of the office of FIFA president at the extraordinary FIFA Congress,” said a letter sent to all 209 member associations yesterday. — AFP.
