BLATTER REYURNED AS FIFA PRESIDENT

Sepp Blatter has been re-elected president of Fifa, football's world governing body, in a vote overshadowed by arrests and corruption allegations.

Blatter's rival, Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan, withdrew after the first round of voting that was overseen by Bermuda Football Association President Larry Mussenden.

Blatter fell seven short of the two-thirds needed, with the score Blatter 133, Prince Ali 73, that after all 209 Countries voted, but only 206 were valib, Prince Ali opted not to contest further.

Seven top officials were arrested in Switzerland on Wednesday as part of a US prosecution that indicted 14 people.

The Bermuda contingent of First Vice President Mark Wade, Second Vice President Gregory Grimes and Executive Member Crenstent Williams were all seen sitting waiting for the count to be announced.

Blatter soon after made his address bringing the 65th FIFA Annual Congress to a close.
