FIFA president Sepp Blatter resigns amid corruption scandal
Sepp Blatter, who officially announced his resignation Tuesday, has called for an election to find a new FIFA president.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter announced his resignation on Tuesday amid the corruption scandal that has rocked soccer's world governing body.
Speaking at a news conference in Zurich, Blatter said he would remain in his position until a special election can be held to appoint his successor.
Domenico Scala, the chairman of FIFA's Audit and Compliance Committee, said an election would be held sometime between December 2015 and March 2016, during which time FIFA will vet candidates.
Blatter was just re-elected to a fifth term as president at the FIFA Congress on Friday, two days after a crisis erupted and seven officials were arrested in Zurich as part of a United States Justice Department corruption investigation.
Blatter spoke in French but FIFA later published a copy of his speech in English.
"FIFA needs a profound overhaul," Blatter said, according to FIFA's translation. "While I have a mandate from the membership of FIFA, I do not feel that I have a mandate from the entire world of football -- the fans, the players, the clubs, the people who live, breathe and love football as much as we all do at FIFA.
"Therefore, I have decided to lay down my mandate [as president] at an extraordinary elective congress. I will continue to exercise my functions as FIFA president until that election."
U.S. authorities last week indicted 14 people -- nine football officials and five sports-marketing executives -- who face charges of wire fraud, racketeering and money laundering. They are accused of accepting more than $150 million in bribes
The racketeering case focused on marketing rights for tournaments in North and South America over two decades. Seven officials were arrested last week -- including two FIFA vice presidents, one newly elected FIFA executive committee member and a FIFA staffer. They are fighting extradition.
Reports into ABC News are stating that Sepp Blatter is currently under investigation by the FBI.
Sources familiar with the case told ABC News that Blatter was being investigated by the FBI and U.S. prosecutors as part of the probe. The FBI declined to comment because Blatter has not been publicly identified as a target of the investigation.
The sources said the feds are conducting the FIFA probe the same way they would handle a mob racketeering case.
"Now that people are going to want to save themselves, there's probably a race to see who will flip on [Blatter] first," one of the sources said, explaining how the feds typically try to get people to inform on their superiors.
Swiss authorities also began a separate investigation into the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar -- two countries embroiled in human rights complaints -- but on Tuesday the office of the attorney general said Blatter is not under investigation in that case.
Blatter joined FIFA in 1975 as technical director for development projects, was promoted to general secretary in 1981 and spent 17 years as right-hand man to Joao Havelange of Brazil before being elected to lead world soccer in 1998.
"I have been reflecting deeply about my presidency and about the 40 years in which my life has been inextricably bound to FIFA and the great sport of football," he said. "I cherish FIFA more than anything and I want to do only what is best for FIFA and for football.
"I felt compelled to stand for re-election, as I believed that this was the best thing for the organisation. That election is over but FIFA's challenges are not."
Scala gave a statement immediately after Blatter in which he praised a decision that was "difficult and courageous in the current circumstances."
"This is the most responsible way to ensure an orderly transition," Scala said.
Scala said FIFA's laws only permit the election of the president at a FIFA Congress, but both he and Blatter said waiting until next May would be too long.
"The next ordinary FIFA Congress will take place on May 13, 2016, in Mexico City. This would create unnecessary delay and I will urge the executive committee to organise an extraordinary congress for the election of my successor at the earliest opportunity," Blatter said.
"This will need to be done in line with FIFA's statutes and we must allow enough time for the best candidates to present themselves and to campaign."
Jordan's Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein, who lost last week's election to Blatter, told CNN that the president's resignation was "the right move."
"I think we have to look to the future," said Ali, who repeatedly declined to say if he'd run again. "I am at the disposal of all the national associations who want a change, including all of those who were afraid to make a change.''

Blatter kafanya makubwa lkn ufisadi umekithiri chini ya uongozi wake. ...uingereza hajasema Qatar apokonywe apewe yeye,yeye anacholalamika ni kuhusu rushwa kutumika na pia Uingereza alipinga sana kwa kombe la dunia kuchezwa kipindi cha majira ya baridi (winter) maana kipindi hicho huwa ligi yao inaendelea na wao "waingereza" wanasema ligi kuchezwa winter ni sehemu ya utamaduni wao.
Kuhusu viwanja vinavyoingiza watu zaidi ya 50 elfu nadhani waingereza wanavyo vingi kuliko Qatar. ....London kuna Wembley(90,000),Twickenham stadium (82,000) Olympic stadium(54000), Emirates stadium(61,000), Stamford Bridge (41 elfu)....Manchester: Old Trafford(75000), Etihad stadium (mpk Aug mwaka huu kitakuwa kinaingiza watu 55 elfu)...Glasgow; celtic park (60 elfu), ibrox stadium-uwanja wa rangers (50 elfu), murrayfield (67000), Hampstead (51000),....St James Park- Newcastle (51000),...........na kuna viwanja kama saba vinaingiza zaidi ya watu elfu 40.

Viwanja vinavyomilikiwa na serikali siyo vilabu. Ufisadi upo sehemu zote duniani tena hao waingereza ndiyo fisadi namba moja duniani.

Hata Qatar 2022, lakini hili likitokea basi kunaweza kukatokea mtafaruku mkubwa ambao unaweza kabisa kuisambaratisha FIFA na kubadili kabisa mfumo wa mashindano ya kombe la dunia kama tuujuavyo, naomba hilo lisitokee kabisa.
