Sheikh Salman of Bahrain
Zurich - Arab Today
Soccer leaders have started voting in Friday's election for a new FIFA president, with Asian confederation head Sheikh Salman of Bahrain the favorite to succeed Sepp Blatter, The Daily Mail reported on Friday.
Four candidates are in the contest after South African businessman Tokyo Sexwale withdrew at the end of a lively, funny and unscripted speech to the 207 eligible voters.
"My campaign is suspended as of now," said Sexwale, who pledged himself ready to serve the winner and received a standing ovation from many delegates.
