Onderwerp: FIFA presidential election: Key questions answered

A 2016 FIFA extraordinary Congress will be held at the Hallenstadion in Zürich, Switzerland, on February 26. This FIFA Congress will elect the successor to Sepp Blatter, who will step down from his position of the President of FIFA in the aftermath of the 2015 FIFA corruption case.


What will happen on Friday?

The candidates will each have 15 minutes to address Friday's congress, which is due to start at about 12:00 GMT. In theory, the first round of voting should start at approximately 13:30 GMT. FIFA estimates each round of voting will take one hour and 40 minutes. A safer bet is two hours, judging by previous elections. So the earliest a winner is likely to be declared is about 17:30 GMT … let's see.

All FIFA members are going more money now that Gianni Infantino is elected FIFA President. Another president from Switzerland, because the previous president from Switzerland was such a great success ... :/

Well, lets be positive and hope that with the extra 2.5 million euro (!!!) each member is going to earn, this is a way to make sure votes from FIFA members won't be that easy to buy anymore, like what happened with Quatar and Russia.

And the award for the most audacios di#$head goes to Sepp Blatter, who said that 'He hopes that Gianni Infantino will continue his work'. I mean, seriously...
