CAIRO: The Confederation of African Football (CAF) on Wednesday opposed the postponing of Friday’s FIFA presidential election after soccer’s governing body was rocked by a corruption scandal.
“The Confederation of African Football opposes any postponement of the 65th FIFA Congress and the presidency election scheduled on May 29, 2015 in Zurich,” the CAF said in a statement issued on its website.
“During a meeting of the federation held on May 27, 2015 in Zurich, CAF reiterated its support for Sepp Blatter’s candidacy,” it said referring to FIFA’s president who is seeking a re-election.
FIFA was rocked on Wednesday with the arrest of several of its officials on corruption charges, but it was adamant that its congress and leadership vote would go ahead.
