Принц Али напуска конгреса на ФИФА след поражението в президентските избори

FIFA presidential candidate Prince Ali bin al-Hussein, UANOC President Talal bin Badr bin Saud bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud and Russian Minister of Sport Vitali Mutko were among those who left the 65th FIFA Congress in Zurich, Friday. The departures came after Prince Ali conceded defeat to Sepp Blatter in the FIFA presidential election. Gaining 74 votes to Blatter's 133 in the first round, the former conceded defeat despite Blatter not receiving a two-thirds majority to win outright. The vote was carried out amid an ongoing storm of corruption and bribery allegations, with 14 FIFA officials and executives in the firing line. Blatter was elected through a secret ballot and will hold the post for a period of four years.
