An English comedian, Simon Brodkin (aka Lee Nelson), has entered FIFA
press conference and showered Sepp Blatter, the now ex-president of the
world soccer body, with dollar bills.
The intruder was immediately
escorted by security officials from the press conference, social media
reports say, adding that the banknotes that showered Blatter were fake.Blatter looked embarrassed and said that the incident "has nothing to do with football."
The comedian’s stunt postponed Blatter’s speech for several minutes. Later the conference resumed.
Earlier on Monday FIFA announced that the election of a new president of FIFA will be held on February 26, 2016, in Zurich.
World soccer’s governing body tweeted on Monday that an “extraordinary elective congress” with all 209 member associations invited will decide on the next president.
