Qatari withdraws from FIFA race
The Saudi Gazette Published in The Saudi Gazette on 29 - 04 - 2015


MANAMA — Qatar Football Association vice president Saud Al Mohannadi has pulled out of elections for a place on the FIFA executive committee, saying West Asia should support one candidate. Olympic Council of Asia president Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah of Kuwait is heavily expected to be voted on to FIFA's decision-making board. Al Mohannadi called on Sheikh Ahmad and Oman's Khalid Al Busaidi to settle on one candidate from West Asia. The Qatari, who will be elected one of the Asian Football Confederation's vice presidents Thursday at the body's congress in Bahrain, was one of seven candidates vying for the three places on FIFA's all-powerful executive committee. — Reuters
