Blatter likely favourite despite recent arrests

Saturday, May 30 2015 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    FIFA officials arrived for the 65th FIFA Congress in Zurich on Friday amid two separate protests, one from pro-Palestinian group against Israel's inclusion in FIFA and another highlighting the lack of worker's rights in Qatar, host of the 2022 World Cup.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Kelvin Mutafu, Zambian FA (asked who his association will vote for):

    "Mr Blatter has done well for Africa. He has done well for Africa."
    Question: "Is it time for change?"
    Mutafu: "Not for now, today it's Mr Blatter. Maybe for the future." 

    SOUNDBITE: (English) John Delaney, Football Association of Ireland Chief Executive:

    "My heart says Prince Ali, my head says Blatter will make it. It's important we make a stand and we let people know that we can't tolerate what's been happening in FIFA, not only recently but over the last number of years."
    Question: "So you will be voting for Prince Ali?"
    Delaney: "Definitely but in some regards I think it's the beginning of the end for Blatter anyway."
