– The event is scheduled for the late afternoon. At FIFA House in Zurich, the 209 delegates from the 209 member national associations to FIFA will vote for the election of the new president of the world football governing body. They have not been enough scandals that have swept the management-Blatter, not enough even arrests FBI: you vote, and the name that will be released by the Congress will receive a mandate until 2019. Two challengers: Joseph Blatter, the Swiss 79 years old “master” of world football since 1998, pulling straight as if nothing (or almost) had happened, and the Jordanian Prince Ali bin Al-Husayn, the third son of King Hussein of Jordan. In the secret of the urn to win the “game” in the first ballot it serves a 2/3 majority of 209 votes cast (140), but by the second vote, the quorum is lowered by a simple majority (105). The prediction speaks Swiss: Blatter will presumably (and incredibly) re-elected to the “second round”.
The numbers in the field – Benjamin Joseph Blatter, retired colonel of the Swiss army, will have spent a sleepless night for the tension, but the numbers are still on his side having the support of the Confederation of African and Asian . The numbers of the conference are as follows: African Confederation (CAF) 54 votes; Uefa 53; Asian Football Confederation (AFC) 46; North and Central American confederation (Concacaf) 35; Oceania Confederation (OFC) 11, South America Confederation (Conmebol) 10. At the time the UEFA (or Europe) is the only one opposed to the re-election of Blatter. They could be added to the votes by Conmebol and Concacaf. It would lead to 98 votes. At this point it needs some defection in front of pro-Blatter to bring down the Swiss. Unlikely, almost impossible.
compact Platini Europe against Blatter – The UEFA president, Michel Platini, has wanted to reflect 24 hours before to make statements. then he thundered against Blatter: “I am disgusted, I can not really over. I am a fan of the history of FIFA, I’m disgusted. I’m sick, it’s really too much.” Platini has revealed that he asked Blatter to step down for the good of the game, but received a resounding no: “I wanted to meet in person. Returning from Warsaw I went to see the president of FIFA, there was a meeting of Presidents of the Confederations, Blatter asked us to review our position with respect to the press very hard done yesterday (Wednesday, ed), to reconsider, to support the FIFA. I asked him to resign because I am exhausted, I told him I should have the courage to do it, he told me no that it was too late. I told him I was sorry that he did not understand the situation. I spoke to him as a friend, because we are working together for many years. And if he wins again when will meet in Berlin we’ll talk about our relationship with FIFA. “
Tavecchio ensures: Italy is with Platini. But Ali will vote? – “After the events that happened that shocked much of the sporting world, we can not consider the feedback of President Platini who collected the unity of the Uefa and then act accordingly.” The president of the FIGC, Carlo Tavecchio, took place after the intervention of a number of Uefa Platini. Italy’s position, then, should be clear, but according to the latest rumors it is possible that Tavecchio decides to vote white card. Or even scegluiere Blatter, who was the first choice until four days ago.
The policy takes the field – The front of the fifth consecutive term of no Blatter also become increasingly a matter of State. If Vladimir Putin has not failed to lend its support to the current summit of FIFA, France and Britain are deployed alongside Platini. “To assign events – said French President Francois Hollande – we need organizations who care about what they do and they are indisputable.” Harder London: “Blatter should resign,” thundered the premier David Cameron. “FIFA is reformed.” A position where, by his own admission, however, the disappointment weighs English for the defeat in the World Cup bid in 2018.
How did the investigation – It all started in 2011 in New York, when FBI agents stopped Chuck Blazer, a busybody who had climbed the top Fifa to become general secretary of the American and the Caribbean. Since 1990, in 21 years he would have pocketed $ 37 million for “commissions” carried out by the government of football and would have spent another 29 in seven years to give the best entertainment to the delegates from the same association. Put before the evidence of the accounts, Blazer decided to collaborate and lent itself to an operation of espionage. With a microphone inside the keychain he recorded a meeting in London on the allocation of the World Championships in Russia and Qatar. Recordings which have made him one of the key witnesses of the scandal.
Bribes for South Africa 2010 – In the indictment against the US management of world football comes second Republic also penultimate competition standings. In spring 2004, there were on the table applications from South Africa, Morocco and Egypt. When Chuck Blazer and FIFA vice-president Jack Warner made a trip to Morocco, it would be offered them a million dollars to drive the vote. South Africa, however, would have far exceeded the Moroccan proposal, putting on the plate a bribe of 10 million. Money that would come directly from the government of Cape Town and by the organizing committee with a curious justification: “Support for the African diaspora.” So May 15, 2004 South Africa won the World Cup with 14 votes, against 10 Morocco and a few months after the “support” was shared between some of the delegates Fifa.
