Visa threatens to 'reassess' sponsorship amid FIFA scandal

Following the indictment of 14 people in connection with corruption at FIFA, Visa has threatened to "reassess" its sponsorship.

Visa has threatened to "reassess" its sponsorship of FIFA if the governing body does not make changes in the wake of the ongoing corruption scandal.

Fourteen people, including nine FIFA officials, were indicted by the United States Department of Justice on Wednesday for racketeering, conspiracy and corruption.

Seven of those nine officials were arrested in Zurich, while an eighth - former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner - was reported to have spent the night in jail following his arrest in Trinidad and Tobago later in the day.
