Zurich, May 29 (IANS) Undeterred by a corruption scandal that has already implicated nine of its senior officials, world football governing body FIFA was on Friday set to elect its new chief -- with incumbent Sepp Blatter seeking a fifth term challenged by Jordanian heavyweight Prince Ali bin al-Hussein. The 65th FIFA Congress, underway here with 209 member associations in attendance, will elect the new FIFA president under the shadow of a murky marketing and sponsorship scandal involving as many as two FIFA vice presidents and seven executive committee members. Before the voting begins, each candidate has the opportunity to speak to FIFA members for 15 minutes.
