English FA To Abstain From FIFA Presidential Vote

THE English Football Association says it will abstain from casting a ballot in the FIFA presidential election in a protest against both Sepp Blatter and Mohamed bin Hammam.

FA chairman David Bernstein said "there are a well-reported range of issues both recent and current which, in the view of the FA board, make it difficult to support either candidate."

The FA is one of the 208 FIFA members that will vote on June 1 in Zurich. Blatter is seeking a fourth four-year term.
