Acting FIFA president Hayatou has ‘successful’ kidney transplant

Acting FIFA president Issa Hayatou has
undergone a “successful” kidney
transplant, the world football governing
body announced on Friday.
“Issa Hayatou has never hidden the fact
that, for several years now, he has been
suffering from a renal insufficiency, a
situation that has not, however,
prevented him from fully performing his
duties at the heart of world and African
football’s governing bodies, without
interruption,” said a FIFA statement.
“He will continue to fulfil his role as
acting FIFA president as intended.”
The veteran Cameroonian, 69, who is
also boss of the African federation, has
been running FIFA since Sepp Blatter
was suspended for 90 days last month.
