Soccer-Scala to supervise integrity checks on FIFA candidates

ZURICH, July 21 (Reuters) - A FIFA committee headed by
Domenico Scala will supervise integrity checks on candidates
hoping to stand in February's election to replace Sepp Blatter
as president of world football's governing body.
FIFA said on Tuesday that Scala, chair of their Independent
Audit and Compliance Committee, would be the Ad-hoc Electoral
Committee chairman.
Claudio Sulser, chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee,
and Larry Mussenden, chairman of the FIFA Appeal Committee are
also members of the committee.
The committee is responsible for supervising the integrity
checks and admitting and announcing candidates.
Potential candidates have until Oct. 26 to present their
intentions in writing to FIFA's general secretariat with support
from at least five football federations.
FIFA said the Ad-hoc Electoral Committee will then carry out
an "examination and a decision on the admission of the
candidates to the FIFA presidential elections".
The vote will take place on Feb. 26 at a special 'elective
congress' in Zurich.
