Confederation of African
Football President Issa Hayatou has begun carrying out his first official
duties since becoming the new acting head of FIFA last week,
following the suspension of Sepp Blatter. Mr Hayatou arrived at the
headquarters of football's world governing body in Zurich earlier today.
FIFA Media report continues:
"It’s
certainly an unprecedented situation for FIFA... But we remain focused on
the necessary reform process, the presidential election and on supporting the
current investigations. To restore public trust is a crucial objective,"
Mr Hayatou said, according to a FIFA statement.
Hayatou has faced
allegations of corruption in the past, which he has denied. He was reprimanded
by International Olympic Committee in 2011 over allegations he accepted bribes
for World Cup TV rights in the 1990s.
