The European Parliament has called for FIFA president Sepp Blatter to resign from his post immediately.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter should resign from his role immediately, according to the European Parliament.
Blatter announced his intention to step down last week, in the wake of the corruption scandal that has engulfed world football's governing body.
The 79-year-old remains in his post for the time being until a successor is chosen at an Extraordinary Congress that will be held between December this year and March 2016.
But the European Parliament, in a statement on Thursday, called for him to leave with immediate effect.
