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."

Time up for blatter but he seems to hold on to the position at all cost.FIFA needs a vibrant president not a senile old man who can't even run around a football pitch.
ReplyDeleteIt 's always the same with the important in our world. They want to keep the power in their hands and the big money too . Also, they do not want to realize that they are mortal too. I suppose, God will smile in the moment, when these "IMPORTANT" are leaving this earth.
Delete@Anonymous 8.51 you are right but no need to bring age into this, Sepp Blatter got greedy, he could have given Prince Ali the opportunity to take over, and now he wants a new president elected
