FIFA president Sepp Blatter announced his resignation on Tuesday amid the corruption scandal that has rocked world football's governing body.
Speaking at a news conference in Zurich, Blatter said he would remain in his position until a....
special election can be held to appoint his successor.
Domenico Scala, the chairman of FIFA's Audit and Compliance Committee, said an election would be held sometime between December 2015 and March 2016, during which time FIFA will vet candidates.
Blatter was just re-elected to a fifth term as president at the FIFA Congress on Friday, two days after a crisis erupted and seven officials were arrested in Zurich as part of a United States Justice Department corruption investigation. Blatter was not among the 14 officials indicted but ABC News reported on Tuesday he was a target of the probe.
