Sepp Blatter, Michel Platini banned, First African president of FIFA

Sepp Blatter, Michel Platini banned

More chaos in Football as FIFA suspends Presidents Sepp Blatter, Michel Platini and Secretary Jerome Valcke. The current scandal at FIFA is the organization's worst crisis in its 111 years of existence. A statement from FIFA's ethics committee stated that the suspensions come into force immediately and that the individuals were "banned from all football activities on a national and international level". 
“The grounds for these decisions are the investigations that are being carried out by the investigatory chamber of the ethics committee,” FIFA said in a statement.

The suspensions leave FIFA, as well UEFA to find new acting presidents. FIFA's statutes state the most senior vice-president should step in for the president of the organisation and Issa Hayatou, president of Africa's football confederation (CAF), was confirmed as FIFA's acting president becoming the first African president of FIFA.

In 2011, Hayatou was reprimanded by the International Olympics Committee's ethics commission after telling them he was paid by FIFA's former marketing agency International Sport and Leisure in 1995.

Spanish Football Federation president Angel Maria Villar is set to take over from Platini as he is the European governing body's highest-ranking vice-president.
