UPCOMING EVENTS IN FIFA !

It is not easy to keep track of what is going on in FIFA particularly with the twin investigations into FIFA by the Swiss and USA Judicial Authorities.  However, FIFA does have meetings scheduled which are identified below.
      
A FIFA Executive Meeting will take place in Zurich on July 20, 2015.  It will probably prepare the Agenda for the Extraordinary Congress which is expected to be held in December.  It is at that Congress, probably, that the "vote of confidence" urging Blatter to continue as President and which he so dearly wants, could take place.

If Blatter wins this vote then he will remain as President.  If he does not win the vote of confidence, he has said   he will resign as President.  The Assembly will then probably agree a date (in March 2016) for the election of a New President in accordance with the FIFA rules . 

This procedure will take at least three months.  It is not clear whether Blatter himself would not also want to be a Candidate again !   FIFA is his life and there is work to be done !

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS.

The foregoing programme could easily be jeopardised by unexpected events.  The findings in the ongoing investigations into alleged irregularities in FIFA could produce surprises, particularly if more people are  suspected of irregularities !   Likewise foreseen events could also be cancelled or changed in the "FIFA World" of operations.
