FIFA calls press conference amid latest corruption claims

World football's chief administrators will speak to the media on Tuesday, with the controversy surrounding secretary-general Jerome Valcke set to be addressed

FIFA has called a press conference for Tuesday on the day that secretary-general Jerome Valcke has found himself in the middle of the latest corruption saga to sweep the world game.

The world governing body released a statement on Tuesday morning denying that Valcke played any part in a series of transactions amounting to $10 million which were paid on behalf of the Local Organising Committee for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa to then-CONCACAF president Jack Warner.
