Sepp Blatter has been re-elected as the president of FIFA. The 79-year-old beat his only rival, Prince Alibin al-Hussein of Jordan, in a vote on Friday. Mr Blatter now has another four years as the boss of football's governing body. In his victory speech, Blatter said: "I am the president now. The president of everybody." He was re-elected even though a major corruption scandal emerged on Wednesday. Seven top FIFA officials were arrested. Mr Blatter was not one of them but many people in football want him to resign. They saythere have been too many scandals at FIFA since he became president in 1998. The UK Prime Minister David Cameron said Blatter should quit and "the sooner the better".
Mr Blatter said he took responsibility for all that is wrong with FIFA and that he would bring change. He said he would work to put FIFA in a "strong position". However, the boss of England's Football AssociationGreg Dyke said: "I cannot see FIFA reforming itself under Blatter. He's had 16 years to reform it and he hasn't done it." In those 16 years, Blatter took the World Cup to South Africa and put a lot of money into building the game in Asia and Africa. However, the name FIFA is now frequently linked to scandal. FIFA's major sponsors Visa and Coca Cola are asking big questions. There are also many concerns over why FIFA is doing so little about the 1,200 workers who have so far died to build the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
