FIFA Sponsors Call On Blatter To Step Down

8 years ago | Posted in: Sports | 842 Views

Four of FIFA’s major sponsors have called on Sepp Blatter to immediately step down as president.

Coca-Cola was the first to speak out – swiftly followed by McDonald’s, Visa and AB InBev, which owns Budweiser.

It comes after Swiss authorities launched criminal proceedings against the 79 year old.

But Mr Blatter’s lawyer, Richard Cullen, said his client was going nowhere until a successor was appointed in February 2016.

He said: “While Coca Cola is a valued sponsor of FIFA, Mr Blatter respectfully disagrees with its position and believes firmly that his leaving office now would not be in the best interest of FIFA nor would it advance the process of reform, and therefore he will not resign.”.. see more
