Sepp Blatter resigned as Fifa president on Tuesday, four days
after being re-elected to a fifth term.
Blatter, 79, announced the decision at a news conference in
Zurich, six days after the FBI raided a HOTEL IN Zurich and arrested several Fifa
officials.
He was re-elected after his only rival, Jordan's Prince Ali bin
Al Hussein withdrew after losing heavily in the first round of voting.
"Fifa has been my life...what counts most for me is Fifa
and football around the world," Blatter said.
"An extraordinary congress is to be called to elect my
successor as soon as possible."
