26th February, 2016. This day could mark the beginning of a new revolution in football. FIFA will have a new president on this day. After 18 long years, Sepp Blatter’s controversy-laden-reign will officially come to an end at the FIFA Congress in Zurich.
Five candidates are fighting to become the ninth-elected president in FIFA’s 112-year history. Whoever wins it, will become the most powerful man in world football.
The past 12 months have seen a football’s highest governing body, FIFA being muddled with controvery, with series of arrests and bribery claims have tarnished the brand image of the organisation.
