Issa Hayatou is in Zurich
to take temporary charge of football's world governing body, Fifa,
Confederation of African Football (CAF) spokesman Junior Binyam has told the
BBC.
The
Cameroonian, 69, is replacing Sepp Blatter after the Swiss was provisionally
suspended for 90 days pending an investigation into corruption allegations.
Hayatou
himself 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.
The long-standing CAF
president has already stood in for Blatter this year, handing over the Women's
World Cup trophy in Canada to the winning United States side in July.
