Sepp Blatter is once again president of FIFA. The 79-year-old beat his only rival, Prince Ali bin al-Hussein, in a vote on Friday. Mr Blatter now has another four years as FIFA's boss. In his victory speech, he said: "I am the president now. The president of everybody." A big corruption scandal emerged on Wednesday. Seven top FIFA officials were arrested. Many people want Blatter to resign. There have been too many scandals at FIFA since he became president in 1998. Britain's leader David Cameron said Blatter should quit and "the sooner the better".
Mr Blatter took responsibility for all that is wrong with FIFA. He said he would bring change and work to put FIFA in a “strong position”. The boss of England's Football Association said: "I cannot see FIFA reforming itself under Blatter. He's had 16 years to reform it and he hasn't done it." In those 16 years, the World Cup took place in South Africa and a lot of money went to build the game in Asia and Africa. However, FIFA's sponsors are asking big questions about the scandals. One of these is why FIFA is doing so little about the 1,200 workers who have died to make the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
