The Twitter account of Joseph Blatter, the head of FIFA, was allegedly hacked, and a series of tweets were posted announcing his resignation and making statements about corruption and Qatar. The tweets claimed that Blatter admitted to taking money from Qatar and suggested he did it for the benefit of FIFA. The tweets also mentioned alleged emails between Blatter and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, along with a large sum of money in a Swiss account. The Syrian Electronic Army was referenced in the tweets.
FIFA’s World Cup account also posted tweets about a meeting and the removal of Blatter from office due to accusations of corruption. The tweets were later deleted, and FIFA denied the information, stating that it was a result of hacking.
It’s important to note that the authenticity of these tweets is questionable, given the nature of hacking incidents and the potential for false information. The world of football has faced various corruption scandals in recent years, and FIFA, in particular, has been under scrutiny for its handling of such issues
