FIFA Sponsors call for Blatter´s immediate leave

McDonald´s, Coca-Cola, VISA and Budweiser call for FIFA president Sepp Blatter to resign with immediate effect

FIFA sponsors McDonald's, Coca-Cola, VISA and Budweiser have demanded that president Sepp Blatter relinquishes his position.

The companies feel that Blatter's embroilment in an ongoing corruption scandal has irrevocably damaged the organisation's reputation. Blatter has moved to deny any wrongdoing and intends to stay. FA chairman Greg Dyke believes this is the end for Blatter.

Sepp Blatter’s lameduck FIFA presidency until the election next February was looking increasingly untenable on Friday night as world football’s biggest sponsors urged him to go immediately. Heavyweight backers McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Budweiser and VISA making such demands for the first time puts added pressure on Blatter.

The 79-year-old found himself under criminal proceedings from the Swiss Attorney General’s office a week ago over a £1.35 million payment to UEFA chief Michel Platini and a TV rights deal with the disgraced former FIFA executive Jack Warner.

Blatter denies wrongdoing.
