Sepp Blatter to resign as Fifa president

After a controversial reelection last Friday, Sepp Blatter has decided step down as president of FIFA. Given the widespread allegations of corruption concerning the treatment of migrant workers building stadiums in Qatar for the 2022 World Cup, along with charges of bribery and a possible corruption investigation by the United States, Blatter's resignation is being hailed as a success by the global community. A special election will be held in the coming months to determine the next president.
