AFC President calls for urgent meeting of FIFA Executive Committee

Zurich: The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) President and FIFA Vice-President Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa has today written to the FIFA Acting President Issa Hayatou and his fellow Executive Committee members to request an urgent meeting of the governing body's Executive Committee.

The call comes in the wake of the suspension of FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter by the FIFA Ethics Committee on Thursday. Shaikh Salman said in the letter that the meeting was vital to bring stability to world football. He said: “These are exceptional circumstances and that is why we need the meeting. Only together will we overcome these difficult times.”
