Blatter interrupted the press conference, which started just after 15:00.

FIFA president stood and strode out after he proclaimed:
– This has nothing to do with football. We have to clean up here. I come back in a few minutes.

After about ten minutes was president back seemingly unmoved by what happened.

 

Blatter spoke about the reason he jumps in as president.
– I had to do something special, and therefore kicked off the football pitch. I wanted to stop anything. It was June 2 that I put my seat available, he said.

 

The Executive Committee took the decision earlier in the day that the new elections will take room 26 februari in 2016.

 

Sepp Blatter also announced a decision on new reforms to be adopted. The reform process will start already today.

 

One of the reforms involves a staff of eleven independent persons nogrrant will check potential members of the executive committee to ensure their competence.

 

A journalist asked the question: Can you swear that you do not stand as FIFA president after February 26?

 

– I will not stand for election. Fifa will have a new president. I think I will start working again. I am a journalist and I want to work with the radio. Radio is the best form of media, and it is eklare to the radio than to write, says Blatter.
