FIFA is drowning in a bribery scandal and all kinds of match-fixing accusations. Wednesday it didn’t get much better. British Prime Minister, David Cameron, said that FIFA’s reputation is at an “all-time low” and the world’s soccer governing body needs to be more accountable.
Cameron also said it was the worst crisis in its 107-year history.
The Associated Press is reporting:
Cameron told the House of Commons on Wednesday that it was “something of a farce” that Sepp Blatter was re-elected as president unopposed last week.
Blatter’s only challenger, Mohamed bin Hammam, was suspended three days before the election along with fellow FIFA executive committee member Jack Warner on campaign bribery charges.
Cameron says “FIFA’s reputation is now at an all-time low and obviously the election with just one candidate was something of a farce.”
Cameron is calling for FIFA to become more transparent and more accountable.
