Asked for the Prime Minister’s view on allegations made by Lord Triesman that FIFA executives had acted improperly, the PMS said that the FIFA President, Sepp Blatter, had said that the claims were being investigated and action would be taken if there was evidence of wrongdoing, which was something we welcomed. The PMS went on to say that the important thing was that the public had confidence in FIFA and its systems.
Asked if the FiFA review would be independent, the PMS advised that it was for the world governing body of football to take action on this matter and reassure fans on allegations of corruption.
