One of the candidates for the FIFA presidency calls to postpone elections
Jordanian Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein filed in Court of Arbitration for Sport protest against FIFA’s refusal to make available to the public cabin Ferris voting during the upcoming February 26 presidential election organization. Only these cabins would allow, in his view, make sure that “each elector shall vote in accordance with their conscience and that he did not take pictures under someone’s pressure bulletin to prove that he followed a certain requirement”, – stated AFP lawyer Jordanian Reno Semerjyan.
Prince Ali is not satisfied with the fact that FIFA banned to confirm the impartiality of the use of polling booths mobile phones. This, in particular, sought another candidate for the presidency of FIFA, Jerome Champagne.
Fears of two of the four candidates remaining in the race after his candidacy took South African Tokyo Sexwale, in century technology development, and not-so-clever tricks, if you remember about any “selfie,” in fact not unfounded. Yes, just and Prince Ali, and the more Champagne – are obvious outsiders. They themselves may not be aware of it. Therefore, their moves, including the Jordanian appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport – the essence of a PR campaign with the aim of once again assert themselves in the long term to take to FIFA a post
It is clear that the fight will go between. Bahraini Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa and protege of Europe, UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino.
Their chances are about equal. If Salman is officially supported by the Confederation of Asia and Africa, and it is exactly 100 votes, behind the Swiss are UEFA and all of America (98). Tentative Oceania (11 votes).
However, it should be noted that the presented balance of no more than a primitive theory. Individual countries can vote in defiance of the confederations and even directly said that will go on your own. For example, Jordan and Malta, Iraq and Liberia openly supported Ali. The question is, as “schismatics” will behave in the final stage of the election, when there will be only two candidates.
But this is a second. In the first, it will be interesting to know whether the vote on the script confederations leaders will take place. So, Infantino, having gone on recently in South Africa, told the Swiss publication Le Matin Dimanche , which enlisted the support of influential people that he has a lot to offer the Black continent (of course, the regular financial handouts to the development of football, which also promises to Salman and which is appropriate to add the question “how to” -. Note AP ..), and that he therefore receive more than half of the votes, that, in fact, is required.
The Swiss also rejected the possibility of any compromise with Salman was talking about recently, Minister of sports Vitaly Mutko, although approximate equality of forces is not clear what kind of agreement between the parties, in principle, could be discussed. This is not a ceasefire – will choose one way or another, only one. But our minister have to keep your nose to the wind.
We are in fact for Europeans, but a month ago came Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, with whom, according to the head Sergey Lavrov, Foreign Minister (allow to breathe before you write), revealed a “mutual disposition to very close cooperation” in the field of sport, “including in the context of the world championships in Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022″.
Further more. Early February. “ King of Bahrain expressed his support for the Russian side in connection with the 2018 World Cup in Russia, said Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
And then the official calculations :
– to discuss issues related to the global development of football have agreed to maintain contacts with the connection of this month election FIFA President His Majesty the king of Bahrain (Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa.. ) actively supported the holding of the 2018 world Cup in Russia.
in fact, Mr Mutko, voting booth, no matter how bustling different princes, still opaque.
