Napout: New president not enough to solve FIFA crisis
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) The head of South
American football says that simply electing a
new president will not dig FIFA out of the
worst crisis in its 111-year history.
In an exclusive interview Saturday with The
Associated Press, Juan Angel Napout,
president of the South American governing
body CONMEBOL, says ''I don't think that
any candidate or situation can change
everything.''
Seven men are running to replace Sepp
Blatter as FIFA president with the election
set for Feb. 26.
FIFA has been in constant turmoil since May
when American officials unsealed an
indictment revealing decades or corruption
linked to FIFA and its regional soccer
bodies.
The indictments and arrests were followed
several days later by Blatter's resignation.
He has since been suspended from his post
pending an investigation by FIFA's ethics
committee.
