Isa Hayatou Emerges Has New Acting President Of FIFA

Blatter, Platini and Valcke's suspension from FIFA will not only pave way for CAF president Isa Hayatou but it might help him lunch back a campaign to football's highest office after failed attempts. Hayatou is now the acting president of FIFA and with corruption scandals nailing Platini the Cameroonian might fancy is chance of wining the election if Platini is unable to contest due to a ban. Is this the time for Africa?

Sepp Blatter has been relieved of his duties as Fifa president after he was banned from all footballing activity for 90 days and replaced by CAF head Issa Hayatou.

Fifa announced on Thursday that Blatter, alongside presidential candidate Michel Platini and general secretary Jerome Valcke, had been suspended for 90 days, following approval by the governing body's adjudicatory chamber of a recommendation made the organisation's ethics committee.
