African soccer league opposes postponing FIFA vote

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) on Wednesday opposes the postponing of Friday’s FIFA presidential election after soccer’s governing body was rocked by a corruption scandal.

“The Confederation of African Football opposes any postponement of the 65th FIFA Congress and the presidency election scheduled on May 29, 2015 in Zurich,” the CAF says in a statement issued on its website.

“During a meeting of the federation held on May 27, 2015 in Zurich, CAF reiterated its support for Sepp Blatter’s candidacy,” it says referring to FIFA’s president who is seeking a re-election.
