Paraguay's Nicolas Leoz resigned Tuesday from the FIFA executive committee and the organizing committee of the Brazil 2014 World Cup, he himself said in Asuncion. "I am mentally healthy, but physically I am often unable to go onlong trips," dpa cited Leoz, who is 84, as saying. While he himself did not make that clear, FIFA then announced in Zurich his resignation as head of the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) "for health and personal reasons." "Nicolas Leoz informed FIFA of his decision to resign today by letter," FIFA said in a statement. -- SPA 22:12 LOCAL TIME 19:12 GMT تغريد
