Sepp Blatter faces his fifth term as FIFA President. How many votes he needs? Why challenger Prince Ali to do that at all? And what is the procedure?
What is the daily routine?
Since the Fifa after Swiss law is an association, the agenda looks a bit like the ones at the plenary session of bowling clubs Nordschwabing. Just a bit more extensive. It starts with a welcome and diverse authorizations, then called for the first time the president. This is followed by progress reports, only instead of the Pentecostal hiking to report, it is just about the football World Cup. According to the financial reports and the approval of the budget, there is information on “sports affairs” and recent decisions. Including the point 11.5 “women’s football”. Only after that is really elected.
The statutes of Fifa are up for adoption, various positions have to be filled. The Palestinian Football Federation has officially proposed to suspend the Israeli Association. Since the Congress will not agree to this proposal with probability bordering on certainty, it is then for the first time exciting when it comes to the appointment of the new Executive Committee. The committee’s like the government of Fifa.
Uefa president Michel Platini hinted that the European Football Association could boycott the organ. That would especially for DFB boss Wolfgang Niersbach consequence of supposed move up for Theo Zwanziger. The third-last point is finally the election of the President. The new president will maintain after the announcement of the next Congress in Mexico City and Kuala Lumpur still a closing address.

When it is clear the winner
Perhaps already in the first ballot. Then should a candidate two-thirds vote get – vote all the 209 member associations of FIFA, would the 140 votes. In a possible second round of voting, a simple majority of 105 votes is currently sufficient. Should this not be achieved, followed by further rounds of voting, the aim is also always a simple majority. Per ballots, the President is determined by secret ballot. His term begins when the Congress is finished, they shall be four years.
What problems bring the electoral system with them?
The electoral system is based on the system A Country = a voice , which is why the representation of football fans as well as of active footballers and / or association members in Congress will be massively distorted. An Example. The delegate of the Cook Islands speaks for nearly 10 000 inhabitants, of which estimated 1200 have anything to do with organized soccer. The delegate of the DFB represents almost seven million members, the largest sports association in the world. What a person who organizes in Germany playing football in FIFA Congress has around 5833mal less to say as a football player of the Cook Islands. The current table Last of the FIFA World Ranking, the Football Association of Anguilla (situated in the Caribbean), does not even have a website, but the same voting power as Brazil. The result is that a large majority of factual footballers in Congress can be easily overruled by a minority.

In the world football body is after the impact of the US investigators worse than he knew. An overview of the protagonists in the sensitive taken Fifa system.
Why is Blatter favorite?
Joseph Blatter has released before the presidential election, neither a program still campaigning operated. Viewed objectively he needs despite serious allegations of corruption and the arrest of parts of his followers as Jeffrey Webb its single challenger Prince Ali bin al-Hussein not fear. The President may continue to count on solid cast blocks of Africa, Asia, Oceania and (North and Central) America; Representatives from these confederations have never put him – the alliance based on the principle of give and take. In addition, these confederations have no desire to leave the Uefa are even more by choosing a representative of their graces.
A coup de theater excluded Blatter is therefore again be president. After re-Wahl Blatter 2007 seemed at first so that Michel Platini, the UEFA president, could be his natural successor, the two hit it off brilliantly. But now is no longer the Frenchman Blatter’s protégé, but his greatest opponent – because both very different interests follow: One wants a strong Uefa, the other a strong Fifa
Fifa scandal How the Swiss at the World Cup Award shake
With the World Cup decisions for Russia and Qatar are now concerned the prosecution. Possibly, the venues for the 2018 and 2022 but still questioned.
Who is the rival candidate?
The only remaining counter-candidate is Prince Ali bin Al Hussein. The 39-year-old Jordanian sitting since 2011 as a vice president in the FIFA executive. Prince Ali, half-brother of Jordan’s King Abdullah II. Is said to have never noticed before in the executive through a word message. Nevertheless, he was courted since last summer by Platini, who was looking for a strong opponent Blatter. The Prince enjoys in his own confederation, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), no strong support: Its president, Sheikh Salman of Bahrain has long been announced that the AFC is behind Blatter. Thus, it quickly became clear that Prince Ali Platini is unable to fulfill hopes of non-European voices to challenge Blatter seriously.
The last Chaostage be able to make no difference. Prince Ali believes nevertheless continued his opportunity and thinks he is the only suitable man. Almost defiantly, he explained on the day of the arrests: “FIFA needs a leadership that directs the National Associations, guides and protects a leadership that accepted their responsibility and will recover the confidence of millions of football fans in the world..”
