FIFA to decide election date on July 20

Lausanne - FIFA will meet on July 20 to decide the date on which Sepp
Blatter's successor as president will be selected, the embattled body
said Thursday.

"The extraordinary FIFA Executive Committee meeting to set the
date for the extraordinary elective Congress will take place on 20 July
2015 in Zrich," said a statement.
"During the meeting, the agenda for the elective Congress will be
finalized and approved. The extraordinary elective Congress will take
place in Zurich between December 2015 and February 2016 as
announced by the FIFA President on 2 June 2015."
Blatter, who has been in charge of FIFA since 1998, has already
announced he will quit after the organisation was engulfed by a
series of widespread corruption allegations.
