Football Associations ask Fifa to delay election

The Football Association and the Scottish Football Association have called for Fifa to postpone its presidential election.

Current president Sepp Blatter is the only candidate for the 1 June election after Mohamed Bin Hammam's withdrawal.
The FA now wants the vote delayed and an independent body to recommend "improved governance" of Fifa.
An SFA statement added: "The election should be rescheduled to facilitate a period of consultation."

The United Kingdom Home Nations are due to have discussions on Tuesday to discuss a joint stance.'Discussions are going to happen in the next 24 hours and that [calling for the election to be postponed] will be a topic of conversation,'' Jonathan Ford, the FA of Wales chief executive, told BBC Wales.
