FIFA Calls Extraordinary Executive Committee Meeting on October 20
The announcement came just a day after FIFA president Sepp Blatter and UEFA chief Michel Platini were both suspended for 90 days.
FIFA announced on Friday that an extraordinary executive committee meeting will be held on October 20 in Zurich to discuss the corruption crisis which has engulfed the governing body. (Sepp Blatter, Michel Platini suspended for 90 days)
"FIFA can today confirm that its Executive Committee will convene in Zurich on Tuesday 20 October 2015 for an extraordinary meeting," said a statement.
"Further information will be communicated in due course."
The announcement came just a day after embattled president Sepp Blatter and UEFA chief Michel Platini, one of the men lining up to succeed the 79-year-old in the FIFA hotseat, were both suspended for 90 days.
Both men say they intend to appeal their suspensions.
European football's governing body UEFA showed on Thursday its support for Platini and announced a meeting of all of the 54 member federations on October 15 at its headquarters in the Swiss city of Nyon.
This suspension prevents Blatter and Platini from participating in any football-related activity.
Both have appealed the sanctions and Platini has submitted documentation to run as candidate for the FIFA presidency in the upcoming election, planned to be held next year on February 26.
The Election Committee will have to validate Platini's request, while the final deadline for applicants to submit their candidacy documents ends on Monday, October 26.
