**FIFA to Hold Extraordinary Executive Committee Meeting on October 20**
FIFA announced on Friday that its Executive Committee will convene in Zurich on Tuesday, October 20, for an extraordinary meeting. The official statement, posted on FIFA’s website, gave few details about the agenda.
“Further information will be provided in due course,” the statement said, though it is widely expected that the recent developments surrounding the organization—including the 90-day suspension of former president Joseph Blatter—will be discussed.
Issa Hayatou, FIFA’s new interim president, is set to attend the meeting at the Zurich headquarters. Meanwhile, both Blatter and suspended UEFA President Michel Platini have indicated their intention to appeal the bans imposed on them.
