The Coca Cola drinks company, one of the leading Sponsors of FIFA since 1950, has written formally to FIFA stating that it wants an Independent Commission to be formed, with eminent and experienced people, to follow the reorganisation that is necessary in FIFA.
Sponsors need FIFA to be cleaned-up after the accusations of fraud committed by executives, some of which have been indicted in the United States ! Sponsors do not want to be tarnished by reputation FIFA now has !
FIFA is expected to discuss this request at its Executive Meeting on Monday,July 20, 2015.
Action by FIFA can now be expected. Its main Sponsors provide income to FIFA which amounts to more than 1.6 Billion US Dollars for each World Cup ! Sanctions can be expected if Blatter, while he is still at the helm, does not deal with this request adequately !
