SEOUL, Korea, Republic Of — FIFA presidential contender Chung Mong-joon has criticized election monitors who cleared the Asian Football Confederation of improperly supporting Michel Platini.
The former FIFA vice-president from South Korea says the FIFA-appointed committee investigated for only three days and forfeited its "duty to ensure the fairness of the election."
He filed a complaint after the AFC sent members a template letter soliciting support for Platini, the UEFA president.
Asian leaders publicly support Platini despite two home contenders: Chung and former FIFA vice-president Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan.
Chung, who reportedly faces a FIFA ethics case for charitable donations to member federations, says the FIFA panel told him it found "no indications of the integrity of the electoral process having been affected."
The FIFA election panel will approve candidates in November after integrity checks.
FIFA investigating Mohamed Salah’s move to Roma
ZURICH — FIFA is investigating Mohamed Salah’s move to Roma in a breach of contract case which could threaten Chelsea with a transfer ban.
FIFA says it "received a claim" from Italian club Fiorentina against Chelsea and Salah.
Fiorentina challenged Chelsea‘s right to let the Egypt winger join Roma on a season-long loan last month. Salah spent part of last season at Fiorentina, which claims it has an agreement to extend his stay.
FIFA typically takes months to rule on contractual breach claims. If proven, sanctions include four-month bans for players and one-year bans on clubs registering new players.
In 2009, FIFA's dispute resolution chamber imposed a one-year ban on Chelseafor signing teenager Gael Kakuta from Lens.
Chelsea later agreed to a financial settlement with Lens.
