What is it?
For Fifa is about much more. The International Football Association honors on Friday at the extraordinary election congress not only a new president, but also wants to adopt a large package of reforms. Thus the Fifa wants action- after many scandals and show the future

the representatives of the 209 FIFA member associations had met only nine months ago, and Joseph Blatter, elected since 1998 in office in May 2015 for another four years as president. But a few days later the 79-year-old announced his retirement, due to public pressure and the investigation by the US Attorney. Even before the new election date Blatter but was blocked by the Ethics Committee of the own association for all football activities and must not be on Friday say goodbye at the convention.
Who are the candidates?

Five candidates have until the final selection on Friday endured. The Swiss Gianni Infantino is only the replacement for Michel Platini, who originally had wanted to run and was then locked together with Blatter. Infantino worked as Secretary General at the European Association always the right hand of Uefa president Platini. Following the cancellation of the French, who had taken two million Swiss francs of Blatter, the Europeans left the 45-year Infantino from the second move up to the front row.
Even Sheikh Salman Al Khalifa had long kept the world organization as powerful and wealthy power broker in the background until the Bahrainis in 2013 was elected president of the Asian Association AFC. Now the 50-year-old will lead the first Arabs to world governing body.

The politicians and businessmen from South Africa was once fellow prisoner Nelson Mandela and is fairly new in the football business. Joseph Blatter had dissolved the now 62-year-olds to the World Association. Connections to Blatter have almost all the candidates. Jerome Champagne was deputy secretary general of Fifa and a consultant Blatter until the Frenchman had to leave the World Association for a crash.
After a first attempt a year ago, the 57-year-old now at least managed to be admitted to the election. That Prince Ali bin Al Hussein behind it. The prince of Jordan joined nine months ago in the only other candidate to Blatter, supported by the Europeans. But the 40-year-old retired in the second round of voting no chance back.
Who has the best chance to be Blatter’s successor?
From all sides is a close duel between Gianni Infantino and Sheikh Salman Al Khalifa expected, the latter applies favored as easily. The Uefa man Infantino has most Europeans behind, who have in Congress on 53 votes. The AFC boss knows Asians behind, put the 46 associations. The South American federation CONMEBOL had spoken with its ten members already closed for Infantino. The African Association Caf, with 54 members, the largest political group wants vote for Salman. Although is expected deviants in all the camps, the decision is well in the officially undecided associations North and Central America and the Caribbean (Concacaf, 41 votes) and Oceania (OFC, eleven organizations).

Although it took five supporters to be allowed to vote. But they find beyond many voters, is considered unlikely. But they have unlike Infantino and Salman too little lobby with the large organizations. The three outsiders could gradually voluntarily or involuntarily retired, their votes would be distributed to the two favorites and could bring the decision.
How to vote?
Each member association of FIFA shall have one vote. Because of the 209 associations present, however, Indonesia and Kuwait are suspended, there are 207 eligible voters. To win in the first round of voting, a candidate needs a two-thirds majority, ie at least 138 votes. This is considered very unlikely. To be expected in any case to a second ballot. There will win, who can unite a simple majority at: 50 percent plus one vote. The winner needs to be at least 104 votes. If this majority is not reached in the second round, coming off the weakest candidate and it follows the next ballot. And so on. Always apply a simple majority. So it could be a very long day.

Realistically, however, is that those candidates who perform weak in the first ballot withdraw itself. So under normal circumstances, should two ballots go on the stage, a maximum of three. Before late afternoon it would therefore be little choice. And at 24 o’clock the delegates must definitely leave the Hallenstadion, the hall must be rebuilt because there on Saturday held a hockey game. then if the choice is not yet completed, the Fifa emergency variant
but obviously planned at headquarters on the Zurich mountain. What are these reforms?
the Fifa hits some points that critics have denounced repeatedly in recent decades. First, the Executive Committee should the power be wrested. Instead of the 25-member government committee a new Fifa Council should arise. This should be greater, 36 members include, but have less powers. The Fifa Council will now fill more the functions of a Supervisory Board. This is to clearly separate between the political and executive functions. To the Operative is accordingly only cares Secretariat. The position of president is losing influence.

In addition, the terms are limited. Maximum can exercise three four-year terms functionaries yet. Moreover, Fifa is doing something for more transparency: The remuneration of officials are to be published. Also the Vita is illuminated more accurately before taking office. And there is now a women’s quota: The Council shall each continent sit at least one woman. To resolve all these reforms, however, a three-quarters majority is needed.
What could change after that?
What hopes Fifa of the reforms, it is already on numerous messages on the walls of the Zurich Hallenstadion. “Trust recover”, stands there in Grey on White. Or: “Greater diversity”, and “Strengthening the Fifa”. Everything will be better. Above all they could with the reforms the US authorities calm down. They had always called for a fresh start at the World Association. Investigation is the Fifa so but can not stop. For this is still too much work up. So the reform package is to be understood as a response to the US investigation – and as a sign to the public. Fifa will win the football fans back for themselves. That is why the leadership of the World Association also touts very intensively for reforms

Are surprises?
Joseph Blatter will have no extra-appearance (see first answer). And the US authorities that made the last Congress in May arrested officials will not rush with special units in the hall. Also a musical surprise for the delegates will not happen this time. Last time was a artistic performance at the Congress of the Standard. In the past year occurred dancers 2011 even Grace Jones. This time the musical program item is deleted. The Fifa representatives must therefore provide entertainment between
