Sponsors voice concerns about FIFA

Now sponsors are apparently getting twitchy about the goings-on within FIFA.

President Sepp Blatter has stated that the organisation is not in crisis, but both Coca-Cola and Adidas have voiced their concerns.

A a Coca-Cola spokesperson said: "The current allegations being raised are distressing and bad for the sport."


An Adidas spokesman said: "The negative tenor of the public debate around Fifa at the moment is neither good for football nor for Fifa and its partners."

Blatter is now unopposed for the presidency of FIFA (vot on Wednesday) after Mohamed Bin Hammam dropped out of the race following recent allegations.

"Football is not in a crisis, only some difficulties," Blatter claimed.
