The election was held by a traditional vote

Joseph Blatter, 75 years, only one candidate in the running, was widely re-elected President, international Federation of football (Fifa) Wednesday: the challenge of England was torpedoed, and the Swiss leader, in "Captain" in "murky waters", proposed reforms, as changing the way of the World Cup. It will therefore complete a fourth and final term of four years. The election was held by a traditional vote. Mr Blatter has collected an overwhelming majority with 186 votes to 203 ballots (208 federations in total).

"I accept this challenge, if God me life, I will back Fifa boat on clear and transparent waters," he immediately commented. Clear water In the future, this is his project. For the present, he had described the situation in his inaugural speech by: "we all know that the boat of Fifa is in busy waters, in murky waters, but should return the boat on the right course, I'm the captain, it up to me, in my view, the responsibility to do so, but I can only do with your help."", you 208 Fifa federations met here: you are the owner of Fifa".

He heard and England, which had proposed a postponement of the election - followed Tuesday by Scotland, well quiet Wednesday publicly-, as early as Tuesday was left well alone. The proposal of the English Federation was swept by 172 electronic votes against 17. And a rain of criticism is killed on her by the voices of the Presidents of the federations of Haiti, Dr Congo, Benin, Cyprus, Fiji, the Argentina and the Spain. After this first against England vote, Blatter again took the floor: "we had kicked me in the slapping, we will learn from these errors. "I am ready to take on the mob to serve the football, I'm the captain, in a difficult period of Fifa".

The instance of world football is currently surrounded by accusations of corruption and undermined by internal investigations. Blatter drew his reform plan. "Where does all this evil that is made to Fifa." "It is the popularity of our competition lighthouse, the World Cup, this allocation of December 2 (the world 2018 to the Russia) and the Qatar 2022, triggered a wave of accusations, suggestions, criticism," said the person. "Is it fair that the allocation of the World Cup return to the Fifa Executive Committee (kind of Government of 24 members)." I want in the future, that the Organization of the World Cup is decided by the Fifa Congress (208 members). "The Executive Committee will make recommendations, a shortlist, and Congress will decide," continued.

The allocation of the world-2022 to the Qatar currently poisons Fifa. Not later than Wednesday morning the President of the German football Federation (DFB), Theo Zwanziger, ruled for a review of the procedure for the award of the tournament in the country of the Gulf, due to suspicions of corruption. Mohammed Bin Hammam, Qatari 62 years old, was the only opponent of Blatter. But he announced the withdrawal of his candidature in the night of Saturday to Sunday, before his hearing Sunday afternoon by the Ethics Committee. This last instance imposed a suspension time of the investigation in a case of alleged electoral fraud in the election of the Fifa.

Who could not appeal its penalty - which in any event was not suspensive - before the start of the elected Congress Wednesday morning, Bin Hammam was not that protest in an official mail sent Fifa, reserving the right to seize the justice of the International Federation of football "and to the beyond".
