MP's Campaign for "New FIFA"

Posted: Fri, 09 Jan 2015 09:41

Conservative MP Damian Collins has organised a meeting with other campaigners at the European Parliament later in January to discuss options for going forward with a "new FIFA".

Delegates will include FIFA presidential candidate Jerome Champagne, Harold Mayne-Nicholls, the head of the technical inspection team for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids, and the former chairman of the England FA, David Triesman.

The announcement comes three days after FIFA executive committee member and Asia vice-president Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan declared his intention to run as a reformist candidate against incumbent Sepp Blatter, the 78-year-old Swiss who has been FIFA president for the last 17 years.
