FIFA president Sepp Blatter has made it clear that he will not quit amid growing political pressure over a corruption scandal in which seven top Fifa officials were arrested in Zurich on Wednesday, among 14 people indicted by US prosecutors. He said this at an emergency meeting of football's governing body ahead of the vote for president today. UK Prime Minister David Cameron has urged Mr Blatter to resign but Russian President Vladimir Putin has backed him for a fifth term and said the allegations against Fifa were a clear attempt by the US to stop Mr Blatter's re-election. Michel Platini, the head of Union of European Football Associations (Uefa), the European football governing body, had asked Mr Blatter to resign after the crisis talks in Zurich, which involved heads of the six international confederations. Mr.Blatter was not among the 14 people who were charged by the US authorities on Wednesday with racketeering, fraud and money laundering. The emergency meeting was Mr Blatter's first appearance since the crisis began on Wednesday. He has condemned the action of individuals for bringing shame and humiliation on football in a corruption scandal.
